True Detective season two- Should I catch up?

I've watched them all and consider it time wasted. If I had will power I'd skip the finale. It's just a mess.

Its been bad but ive still enjoyed it. Only 8 episodes so not like its a huge amount of time invested

To each his own but I really like season 2 and recommend that you watch all the episodes.

I just finished season 1 and really liked it ad well. They're both good/great in their own ways. Don't want to elaborate and post possible spoilers. Just watch it, if you liked s1 then s2 you should enjoy.

1) It's not as good as season 1, accept that
2) It's not nearly as bad as this board makes it out to be, understand that...There are parts of the story that don't need to be there, and there could be more of a back story on some characters, it's far from perfect, but it's still definitely worth watching
3) A lot of people complained about Vince Vaughn in the first few episodes but he's settled in and has really come into character at the midway point of the season
4) A lot of people are complaining about Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch, and Kelly Reilly and saying that they suck and they're too this or too that, but IMO in reality they are accurately portraying what the character is going through...If you don't like the character that's one thing, and some times actors do ruin a role but I do not think this is the case

I mean you're only 6 episodes behind, it's not that big of a committment.

Plus, if you actually liked the first episode, there's definitely no reason not to catch up. It's a pretty clear consensus that the show sucked up until about episode 5ish so you're already ahead of the curve.

In comparison to Season 1 of course it isn't that good, but it certainly is better than 99 percent of the crap on TV. Its only a 6 hour investment and I think it is worth it. I'm looking forward to the finale, now that I actually know what's going on.

Watch it, with the understanding that it's not nearly as good as the first season. There's been a lot to enjoy this season -- Colin Farrell is terrific, Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch are good, the music is great, there's a real strong finish to fourth episode. The story is kind of a big trashy, pulpy mess -- the best bet is to just enjoy all the violence and sex and not try to think too hard and put it all together.

The biggest problem is that the three police characters are all too overstuffed. They all have too much going on. I mean, the first season Matthew McConaughey was a guy with substance abuse problems who was kind of nuts and Woody Harrelson couldn't keep his dick in his pants. The characters this season have like two big issues (at least). They should have pared stuff back.

The first 4 or 5 episodes are painfully slow with overdone dialogue that you know police officers and gangsters are not using. lol But it does start really getting interesting. I def would catch up. Can't wait to see the finale

Had to settle for Rachel McAdams in her panties (would have loved to have seen more, but Rachel isn't giving it up). Still, that arse of hers looks damned good in a pair of blue jeans.
