I could've been different...
They really did ray dirty the entire season.
>>219053517Casper knew this
why was he psychic
S2 is kino and I'm tired of pretending its not.
>>219053598Just finished it last night and yeah, it's kvno. People who say the last episode is bad don't deserve good things in their life.
>>219053598it is
>>219053557Its just pizzas attempt at lynch
Out of all the lies people themselves... I bet that's the most common.
>>219053598The main issue is it was following S1 and people had sky high expectations
>>219052768Literally me...
>>219053805>be me>be in high school>be loser>doing phys ed>do athletics one afternoon>outrun the fastest track athlete in our school>coach offers me a spot on the athletics team>be on sports teams might make me cool>requires extra practice>need gym clothes washed more often>mom refuses to wash gym clothes more often>can't join athletics team>have to tell coach embarrassing dumb reason why>i see on his face how dumb he thinks the reason is >remain loser for rest of schoolThat's *one* of a dozen formative experiences I was dealt that made me the loser I am today. Some people just get dealt a bad hand.
>>219053598Desu, never understood the hate
>>219053598Yes.S1 > S2 > S3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> S4
>>219056002Why didn't you wash it yourself retard?
>>219055195Ahahahaa oh man imagine getting drunk and snorting a bunch of drugs alone on a Friday/Saturday night hahahahaa who would do that??
>>219056002>>219057730This, you weren’t in fucking high school, wash your own damn clothes. Life didn’t deal you a bad hand, you set your cards on fire.
>>219058263*you were
>>219052768>You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. Well I've counted my chickens, and they're not hatching. Caspere knew this.
>>219058263not him but my mom got angry whenever I tried to wash and cook for myself
>>219052768My father made me nervous
>>219059344We need a pamphlet on casperisms.
>Ray, it's a doggy dog world, and I have a cat.
>>219055195>getting uppers and downers at the same timeI dont get it
>>219053598I hated the fag cop storyline. Too many characters. Should have been just Velcoro and the "i love big dicks" girl. It wasn't as good as S1, but it was good. Also, Lera Lynn's music massively elevated it. I listened to "This is my least favorite life" for years afterwards. Both S1 and S2 have been very impactful on me. Everything afterwards was awful.
>>219060883Season 3 wasnt THAT bad
What other lies do people tell themselves?
>>219060913DEM KIDS..........................
>>219060950I take comfort telling myself that it couldn't have been different.
>>219061180why not?
>>219057730>>219058263What this anon >>219059515 said. My mom wouldn't let me.
>>219052768What a let down after season 1 it was so shit
>>219060883agreed with most of this. I didn't sup dislike any storyline or character, but it needed to be simpler and more concise I guess. >>219060913It was very disppointing. Pizza obviously felt pressure from HBO not to be "too creative" and write something similar to Season 1, AND they had to do DEI casting, so we get a mediocre lead, and the criminal case wasn't particularly interesting, nor was the story or the lead's issues with his marriage or memory. It fell flat almost completely. That's why basically no one talks about it and wouldn't if it weren't part of True Detective. Season 2 can stand on its own though. It's a tragedy how HBO handled the franchise. First season is massively successful, so second season is rushed, and even though very good, flawed in a way that rubs normies and critics, so third season is a "correction" to try to recreate season 1 viewership and reviews, even cleverly starring a black Oscar winner, which makes several aspects of the show impervious to critics. That last point was particularly smart on HBO's part, while HBO fucked nearly every other aspect up. The suits there have done a number on modern TV.
>>219061338Lol what the bitch gonna do?
>>219060883God warrior was a good character. A fag who didnt want to be a fag. Inverted dei shit. Caspere knew this.
>>219061180That's a lie i won't tell myself.
>>219060883>>219062493I enjoyed that character desu. I think my only gripe with S2 is I wish they had leaned into the cult shit more
>>219062597If you read the original release regarding what season 2 was supposed to be about i think (((they))) (((shut it down))) so human trafficking was the compromise.
>>219060883At least the fag was bathed in sickly green light most of the time
>>219061534>First season is massively successful, so second season is rushed, and even though very good, flawed in a way that rubs normies and critics, so third season is a "correction" to try to recreate season 1 viewership and reviews, even cleverly starring a black Oscar winnerThe Dark Souls of television.
>>219053845he's literally me.
Can motorcycles be stolen that easily?
>>219053557coke n booze together will do that
>>219053845I said this to my doc and he asked for clarification. but my answer to how much I drink was. "All of it"Then I told him I have a compulsion to finish no matter the amount. So he put me on a Simulant and now Im just drunk and on simulants. Quite the ride.
>>219052768With arms wide open...
>>219053598I think I'll finally watch it. I've seen some people say it's not good but how could it be bad with Vince Vaughn and Colin Ferrell as the leads?
>>219053557Every season has to have little weird supernatural elements, season 2 had that and the gay cop's girlfriend feeling him die lol.
>>219052768God is punishing him for In Bruges.
>>219060883Gay cop is one of the best homosexuals ever put on television because his faggotry is not only condemned and associated with past evils, but he also manages to beat his gay demon before dying.
>>219065635You're probably to stupid to understand it.
>>219056002I'm sorry that you rmother was a stupid bitch Anon, if it's any consolation I still believe in you.
>>219060755I wouldn't expect you to
>>219065486Fucking kek. I can see the resemblance
>>219065486Shaka, when the walls fell
>>219061534>>219062597This is the answer:>>219063922Everything about seasons 2, 3, and 4 of True Detective goes back to the meddling in season two that was performed by the Hollywood apparatus. For all I know, the interference could have started during the production stage for season one. What we do know, though, is that the original idea that Pizzolatto had for season two would have been set in Los Angeles, and would have involved human trafficking in pedophilia. Obviously that couldn't ever happen, so season 2 was neutered. Shades of the quality remain, but it has a noticeable air of being incomplete, "half-cooked" as critics called it. Look at season three, and what is the outcome? Turns out the trafficking in children was the lonely daughter of one lonely mogul, and was not malicious at all, in fact. I don't know what pressure was leveraged against Pizzaman, but I'm sure I never want to have to face it. Season four and beyond will just be to bury the show, in my opinion. "Remember True Detective season one?" "Yeah, that was great. It sucks now" That's all anyone ever needs to remember about TD, as far as Hollywood is concerned.
>>219065734Damn that sucks. I understood season 1 though.
>>219065635Collin Farrel is a great lead in it, probably my favorite character in the whole show. Vaughn is a bit too stiff for my taste, he's a hit or miss actor. I really enjoyed Season 2. The main gripe is that it suffered from too many lead characters and that season's slow startup couldn't keep the audience engaged (There's a big event by E4 that should've happened way earlier). The plot is great but pretty convoluted in comparison to S1 and a lot of people ended up not understanding anything that was going on.
Vaughn should have had untraceable diamonds at the ready.
>>219065957Velcoro and Frank at Crystal Ranch
>I'm going Holocaust 2 on your oven dodging kike assReally Vince?
>>219061180Of all the lies people tell themselves, I bet that's the second most common.
>>219052768could've should've would've
>>219060883>Should have been just Velcoro and Frankftfy
Vaughn gave the performance of his career.
>>219061180It literally could not have been different, or it would have been.
>>219065746Thanks anon. She really was, I'm very resentful
scientists say that most important formative years are the first fiveyou are already fucked up in your earliest memory
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Mszf5JcgzcThis was the EXACT moment I realized I was watching KINO.
>>219068152Lera Lynn is still a touring musician today. She gave a thanking reply with a heart on instagram when I commented that I loved her work for True Detective and then I started imagining our life together only to remember that I'm a nobody. This is my least favorite life.
>>219068261Caspere knew this.
>>219053845literally me
>>219065635Vince Vaughn is the worst part about it, honestly. Everyone else is great but Vaughn is way too out there.I wouldn't call S2 some unrecognized masterpiece or anything, but it definitely doesn't deserve the hate it gets, and the atmosphere/mood is on par with the first season.
>>219068399>Vince Vaughn is the worst part about it, honestly.another cunty heard from
>>219068399i never loved you + checked
I thought this was a Miami Vice thread. I'll slowly see myself out. Pretend I wasn't here.

what a cope thread jesus, modern tv is just>ACSHUALLY I SUCKED DICKS AND IM TIRED OF PRETENDING I DIDNT ENJOY!who gives a fuck nigger.
i watched for rachel mcadams and boy was it worth it
>>219069136I just saw her in the new Raimi movie
>>219060755Are you simple?
>>219068675how about some mojitos, friend?
>>219069272wew still got it
>>219067909Time is a flat circle. Whatever choices that anon made. He's going to make them again. He'll be in this thread again and again and again.
lol these revisionist “S2 was great!” zoomer threads are approaching prequelfag territory… https://youtu.be/Q9odAqQYAs4it was a brutally retarded tough guy action mob series the type we have already seen better made a hundred times. first season is in another stratosphere, just in terms of acting.
>>219068690True
>>219070624a literal homosexual doing fagposting in the wild, lol
>>219070624yeah i'm with you. i like the show but it's a genuine waste of a great cast (yes even taylor kitsch). there's nothing totally new we haven't seen in td s2 that we haven't seen elsewhere. i daresay td s2 would have been a better show if it was just a miniseries based on frank and his crumbling empire as he tries to go legitimate. that's kinda sorta what the show is about anyway. vince vaughn and farrel carried the show on their backs, no offense to mcadams and kitsch.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRh7O0zZzA4
>>219056002Bro, learn to use a washer. I learned when was 12 because both my parents had jobs. You're just lazy
i liked the non-linear storytelling in seasons 1 and 3. they didn't do this in seasons 2 and 4 therefore they are terrible.
>>219060755after awhile stims start to feel stressful as fuck and it really hampers the experience. when youre new to them they dont have any side effects like that at alldowners remove the anxiousness of it and your mind is just greased. depending on doses and stuff. its very nice
>>219060913>tfw everytone hates season 3 and its my favorite
>>219073726Cuck
>>219073813im not gonna say it, i just want you to know im thinking it.
>>219066849I loved it so much despite not fully understanding every single plot point that I've watched it like 10x now and finally get most of the subtle shit.
>>219052768
The cocaine scene inspired me to do some cocaine. It's unfortunately a very mid drug
>>219053845zoomers will never know this feel cuz they're too poor and cucked to drink alcohol
>>219073987kek he was the only reason I watched that shit.
>>219060755You snort blow to get energy to drink more.
>>219055195>>219060755that was me for a year and a half before and during the pandemic (minus the crying). you cannot possibly understand how addictive alcohol + coke is unless you've done it. it's the god tier combo of drugs. you feel on top of the world. you can drink to your heart's content. unfortunately the hangover the next day makes you want to kill yourself and you're struggling not to have a panic attack the entire time. it's why i had to stop. but goddamn i recommend drinking and doing a number of lines if you can. you will love it. just make sure you realize it's temporary. also expensive.
>>219069415Im a fiend for mojitos.
