        Skip this season pls

      • Sep 05, 2023

        Skip this season, 1 and 3 are way better, season 2 is awful, confusing, and frustrating!

      • Aug 29, 2023

        After finding out that each season of True Detective was written with stand-alone plots, I decided to forgo S1 & check out S2 first (mostly due to the stellar cast). I was Not Disappointed.. I don't know why it got such bad reviews & quite frankly don't care. It may have started a little slow, but by the 2nd & 3rd episode I was hooked. It runs like a long-form, 8 hour movie. Colin Farrell & Rachael McAdams performances were excellent, but Vince Vaughn takes home the gold. Guy blew me away in this role (pun intended). Bottom Line: don't believe everything you read in the internet. This show's 2nd season is Well Worth the watch.

      • Aug 21, 2023

        1) No plot 2) Terrible dialogues 3) Cast can't even compensate Watch season 1 and then continue on with season 3. I hope season 4 will deliver.

      • Aug 08, 2023

        I was a little annoyed at aspects of the ending (purely due to personal preferences), but some of the reviews on here are positively unhinged. Is absolutely worth the watch for the stellar performances of Colin Ferrell and Rachel McAdams, if nothing else, and the plot is an interesting look at corruption in Los Angeles. Has notes of the movie Chinatown with Jack Nicholson, and there are some great twists as the story unfolds. Taylor Kitsch as Paul Woodrugh, who I don't remember seeing in anything before, was also excellent. The only performance that's kind of meh in parts is Vince Vaughn, and he still portrayed a sympathetic character (and his acting bothered me less by the end - so it's possible he just made some unusual choices in portraying the character). If you're expecting a cookie-cutter imitation of Season 01, then yeah, don't watch it. If you like detective noir, particularly noir set in Los Angeles, it's really well done.

      • Aug 02, 2023

        I honestly wouldn't had minded Season 2 as much had it not been for Vince Vaughn's insufferable acting. The story overall is much weaker than the other two seasons; but the directing and everyone else's acting was on par. If you're giving it a chance, definitely stick around for the ending. It makes up for the slower first half.

      • Jul 16, 2023

        An inconsistent brown mess with on the one hand somewhat forgettable characters and story, but on the other some pretty effective scenes as well in the latter episodes.

      • Jun 24, 2023

        Not as bad as a lot of people are making out, but still a considerable drop in form from the first season. I don't mind the completely different direction the series has taken, just needs a better and more original story.

      • May 12, 2023

        This season would be perfect if they didn't killed all 3 main characters(the 3 who we all most cared -all 3 are men-) for no reason at all. 1 died being shoot on his back, the other in a mirage walking injured and the last and most important one hunted till his death... The worst plot with the worst ending. If you care about wasting your time, just skip this season and watch season 3. (Season 3 is the most detective of all 3 and you also won't be bothered with s** or nude scenes like season 2 has -season 2 has an entire ep with nude and s** scenes that has no importance to the main plot, this is also the worst ep of all show-)

      • May 12, 2023

        its different, we should like different things sometimes, acting is okay, colin acting was good as a burnout cop, Vince Vaughn made a great gangster. other acting roles were questionable, plot is boring, no resolution, too many characters, I think the setting was good, the corruption story is great but execution was bad. cinematography is weird, its bad. I don't wanna see bridges between every scene. This a significant downgrade from season 1 but its not bad its generic.
