It is all style and no substance
They REALLY miss Cary Fukunaga's directing
VV does not do vulnerable tough guy very well
Farrell has been excellent
Mcadams is ok but in the scene with the sheriff deputy it looked like she was suppressing laughter. She just isn't "fricked up" enough for the character
Kitsch has been awful. He needs to stay in his hero lane and stop doing this brooding bull shite. He was so bad in the club scene it looked like he was about to have a panic attack

I watched all 3 episodes consecutively tonight. It's just bad. Nothing much else to say. Everything is so forced and heavy-handed. The Semyon plot is a pure ripoff of Long Good Friday. Look it up and tell me it's not.
I got downvoted into oblivion in one of the threads for premature predictions, but every reservation I had regarding this season has manifested itself in a grotesque way. It's worse than I thought. Every lead wants to be Rust. Trying way too hard and the writing is just consistently below average. Don't know if I'll finish this one out. The pacing is just horrid.
Anyone trying to defend this is suffering from cognitive dissonance. This even makes episodes 6-8 from last season look good.
It's no secret how long Pizzolatto had been formulating Season 1. He had been writing and concocting and scheming that plot for years in his head, I'm sure. You can't expect someone to write every episode in a few months and expect it to be good. I see why he was cautious about doing a second season.
Wouldn't be surprised if this series gets the axe.

quote:Yes, forgot about that too.
The scene at the mayors house was probably the low point of the whole show, the characters, writing, execution was awful.
I was laughing at how bad it was.
I'm very surprised reading through this thread, seeing quite a few folks, probably the majority stating it was the best episode so far. I think it was by far and away the worst of the 11 True Detective episodes. If it were on a graph, it would be that crazy outlier you barely notice because of how far below the other points are. That bad, for me.
