anyone else watching True Detective?

biancardi — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 15:54:23 GMT

I loved the first season and am pretty excited about the 2nd season- I really like Colin Farrell and I happen to like the LA film noir so far with the 1st epi.

As with all True Detective episodes, I have to rewatch it, because there are so many little details that I do not pick up on with one viewing.

The plot line (so far) kinda reminds me of China Town, but that is just from one viewing - and I do think that might be just superficial. I loved how all 3 of the emotionally wounded cops came together at the end to investigate the death. Watching all 3 of them with different storylines, I was wondering how they were all going to "meet" up

I watched S02, E01 last night but I'm saving it because I need to watch again. I started too late. But I think this is going to be good, too.

I loved season one. Clearly, this is an entirely different show. But I did watch the opening credits and noticed that Harrelson and McConaughey are Exec. Producers. That's pretty cool.

I just got back HBO on Sunday. The first thing the rep said to me when I ordered it was how good True Detective is. I am going to try and catch up because it sounds like something I would really like.

We watched the first season with Matthew and Woody and it was sooo good. Amazing story line. One of the best I've ever seen. I'd love to see those two do another series. Haven't seen the second season yet, but if it anything like season one, we'll be watching.

I watched last season and enjoyed it. I plan to watch the new season OnDemand as soon as I think I'm alert enough to pay close attention -- lol.

We recorded the first episode of the new season. However, we did not watch yet. We will watch tonight. (DIdn't have time last night).

I saw some people on facebook are complaining they don't like the new season, but I do not go by reviews, so I will decide for myself.

I've been seeing reviews like that too - it is going to be different from last season - I do like the format as it gives actors a chance to shine in a mini series and then move on to something else.

I am not sure why people don't like the 1st episode - I thought it was well done. It was very complex because you have 3 different cops who have no relationship with one another and we had to follow their storylines first.

Darn!! I kept thinking last night that there was something I wanted to watch (was it on Sunday?) but couldn't think of it.

I will definitely watch it ON DEMAND, as I loved the first series.

I did not watch the first season but I saw the first episode of season 2 on Sunday. I think it's worth staying with it for a few more episodes even though I found the story to be very dense and quite hard to follow at times. The acting was superb, though, so I'll stick with it for now.

I watched it yesterday On Demand.

I loved Season 1 and I am happy that Season 2 is starting out with the same high quality plot line and acting excellence.

It's very dark. B, LA film Noir is the perfect description. I was intrigued from the beginning and I thought the way they brought all three cops together at the end was brilliant.

I watched it last night on HBO and loved it! I'm so happy they repeated the first episode. I'm very intrigued as to where this storyline is going to go.

My husband and I finally watched the first episode. We both like it a lot, however i am a bit confused by some of it. lol. But we will keep watching so I am sure it will all come out in the wash (as they say).

I am pretty excited for tonight's episode! How about you? Also, did anyone catch The Brink afterwards? OMG. Too funny.

Love both shows!

Thanks for the heads-up on The Brink. I'll probably watch TD tomorrow On Demand.

It is just so funny. I couldn't help laughing out loud during some of the exchanges...

Tim Robbins is comedy gold.

Hubby and I love TD. It's one of the few shows we watch together. I'm glad this season feels totally different than the last, so you're not really comparing the two. At least I wasn't. Love Colin and Rachel. I'm not crazy about Taylor, but he seems to fit the part well. Vince is great in his role so far. We watched The Brink and didn't really like it. I *might* watch one more epi just to see, but I think DH is out on it. Has anyone seen The Killing of The Fall? If so, if I like TD, do you think I would like either of those. I also like Murder in the First. This season is pretty good so far. (Not trying to derail your thread, biancardi, just wanted to see if others that like TD might've seen the others and could offer some input. Hope you don't mind!)

I just finished watching it. WTH?

Roughdraft, I know!! Click on the spoiler for spoilers!

what happened? Did Ray get killed or is he just seriously wounded? The previews had one guy say something about one of his cops shot, but I hope he isn't dead - as Colin Farrell is so good in this role, plus his character seems to want to reform

I'm watching. I watched last season as well and really liked it.
