Did they ever explain why she is messed up? Does this have Anything to do with the story at all? I must have missed the connection. Thanks.
Best episode of the season (ep 4 right?) unfortunately. Episodes 1-4 are incredible television... the rest, eh not so much. [Reply]
It really pales in comparison to Season 1. I felt it had a very weak plot to start and they kept adding a lot of personal crisis with the characters to build up drama. Pretty weak writing throughout with a big shoot-em-up scene to try and wake up viewers dozing off after another long Vince Vaughn soliloquy. Poor ending to a very average show.
Not sure if they should try a Season 3- it has been all downhill since halfway through the first year. MM exceptional acting saved Season 1 IMO. [Reply]

I would say Eps 1-7 of Season 1 are pretty solid.
That finale was a great lead in to Season 2. It turned a pretty impressive mystery into CSI:Backwoods.
One has to wonder how much Cary's involvement brought Season 1 to life. [Reply]
Sensational news! LOVED Season 1, and thought Season 2 was alright (in Season 2 , they tried to stuff way too much stuff in 8 episodes). Hopefully the writer has learned and will take his sweet time with Season 3. Can't wait for this [Reply]

Now you are being silly. Ali is a good actor, that he is black shouldn't matter one bit. True Detective was always going to have different actors with each season being a self contained story. [Reply]

The second season was disappointing enough and the strife between Pizzolato and Cary Fukunaga didn't exactly generate a pressing need for an additional installment two years ago. [Reply]

More moronic shit from a fucking know nothing moron.
Fukunaga had ZERO to do with Season Two. He didn't direct a single episode and was an EP in name only.
