True Detective is dead
Damn. Sucks but on the other hand S2 sucked, so I doubt another season would be any better.
good riddance
pizza a shit
I loved S1 and enjoyed S2.
I'm glad it's being replaced by a show that can have the same cast for more than one season though.
Quite mad desu, can't get my head around how people could shit on it so hard.
...
Good, letting something die is as important as enjoying it at its peak
Agreed.
What the fuck is wrong with studios? Just around here I've seen a fuckton of great ideas for a new season if someone really would think around them for a while.
It's like they think that Pizza is the only one who could write this.
Give it back to Fukunaga. It's clear Pizzeria was just piggybacking his talent.
Although S2 wasn't the shitfest it was made out to be, the quality between the two seasons is fucking jarring. Justin Lin probably didn't help either.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>Chloe attempts a gondola cosplay
>Nic Pizzolatto, creator of the HBO TV series “True Detective”, was found dead today in Los Angeles. Police said he appeared to have hanged himself. He was 39.
>The officer responsible for investigating the death said that the writer had hanged himself with a cord from the suite’s curtains. A rope was also found around his genitals. Police said Pizzolatto’s body was taken to a hospital for an autopsy that would be carried out today.
>According to the hotel maid who found the body, his suicide note was "as poorly written as the second season" of his TV show. "Certain experiences you can't survive, and afterward you don't fully exist, even if you failed to die", Pizzolatto wrote. He also mentioned feeling depressed about HBO refusing to renew his contract, following low ratings and negative reviews. HBO declined to comment.
>Pizzolatto is survived by his wife, Amy, and their 5 year-old daughter.
Why not just let someone else come in and do season 3? With the right cast and vision the series could easily be saved.
didn't that guy got caught plagiarizing dialogue word for word from some obscure manga about aliens? maybe he couldn't take the shame.
FUCKS SAKE
that's from the woody allen flick, right?
Just fire Pizzaman
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
genuinely upset
>from some obscure manga about aliens
Wew
it is a bad angle.
delete this
Fukunaga is doing a Napoleon thing for HBO.
Also, the rotating director format was awful for season 2. Justin Lin was garbage, but, some of the other eps that had more competent directors were alright.
How the fuck it's difficult to put another TD season 1 live?
how much of a hack is nic pizzolatto? It's so fucking simple, it's a simple bountyhunter-supernaturalesque-noir with dark themes about despair and paganism, it's the same shit that stalker but with cops in USA
It's like the witcher series on a contemporary theme with cops with a cynical geralt
how difficult is to make this jesus christ
...
*halloween theme song now plays in your head*
Good. Season 2 was fucking trash.

His line 'I pissed myself' was a meta comment on the second season
stop with these stupid shops, they are not funny.
Everyone report this bastard's ass.
Now what show are we going to shitpost about nonstop, Preacher?
We'll always have that first season lads.

It didn't matter what a potential storyline or cast or setting s3 might have had. It wasn't topping s1. Pizzaman had worked on it for over a decade. HBO got a great up and coming filmmaker to realise the vision and put it on screen, coupled with two powerhouse actors with a chemistry together that can't be bottled or defined.
GoT and capeshit
oh wait
the first one was funny
Take that you smug faggot. GOOD. All greatness in the actual show (season 1) was the work of The Great Fukunaga. Pizza Man can suck my balls. He fucking sucks. Fuck that faggot. Always trying to shine me on, plagiarizing everything. Best part of the show was Delta Green.
Thanks plebs for ruining everything once again
DELETE THIS
>we'll never have a real "pitch your TD season 3 ideas" thread ever again
Why us the 1S so forgivable in a way, where there where a lot of major plootholes and fluids?
this looks shopped
>we get the world we deserve
so true ;_;
>I'll never get my drugs 'n injuns TD season now
I still don't get the hate for the finale
Like seriously what was so wrong with it???
Did they want a "Happy" ending like season 1?
It's not even like it was left ambiguous or a sopranos style blackout pretty much all the character arcs finished and the story ended where it should have
>Best part of the show was Delta Green.
nigga what the fuck are you talking about with your lovecraft shit?
You never had one in the first place pham
It isn't, trust me I'm a surgeon.
Let's vincepost one last time, lads.
Got caught by me plagiarizing one of Wilbur Whatley's heady lines from The Dunwich Horror too in ep 8.
90 minutes still wasn't enough to tie up so many plot threads in a satisfying manner. And that scene where Vince was wandering through the desert being taunted by the people he killed was awful. Fucking MGS 3 did that trope better.
How the Yellow Sign is utilized in order to bring Carcosa into concordance with our reality and unshackle sleeping Hastur.
It's very difficult to make actually, with the dozens of shit cop shows currently in circulation to prove it. True Detective S1 reached a level of atmosphere and tone that most shows (or films) could only dream of. But "atmosphere" ill defined. It can't be faked or forced. The tone of TD s1 is what made it special and stirred up the fervour for the viewers. Add to that, the excellent cast, pacing and cinematography and you've created something that's very hard to replicate.
>tfw it's a dog eat dog world and you're a chinaman
>tfw failed upload
This is spooky. I literally just started watching season 2.
Really enjoyed season 1.
Samefag
God, what a sloppy hack. At least other hacks have their own shtick, but this smuck has none.
Because the tone was fantastic. Everyone was forgiving of the somewhat underwhelming last two episodes because those first five/six episodes undeniably felt special.
He already walks among us
I fucking hate you. I bet you root for the same sport teams as I do and when you watch them they lose.
fucking kill yourself faggot.
He literally single handed killed that show
>heh GOOD
You idiots should realize that every show has its highs and lows. If you're happy about this news you're underaged.
got any proofs against Dan "Good man" Schneider?
>I fucking hate you. I bet you root for the same sport teams as I do and when you watch them they lose.
I'm stealing this ty user
Vince Vaughn just showed up so I'm expecting them to save a failing business with wacky antics by the end of the season.
good, fucking one hit wonder
what is difficult about putting some swamps, some green filter, some countryside with radiohead-country music, some lunatic rednecks with graffitis living in trailer trash, and a ocuple of a straight dumb one with a cynical depressive other
This. They've been swapping out actors and director's like hillbilly preachers passing round children at a sacrifice. Maybe get a new fucking writer and kick Pizza upstairs to EP where he can do no damage.
...
Well that's it lads.
It's been good.
It deserved one more chance
...
in fact, this show is like a supernatural for grown ups, without the childish humor and ambient of the original supernatural
dat lip quiver :(
They did drop the ball pretty hard on season 2.
>"I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone"
This isn't a season of Friends that got shit on because it didn't have as many funny episodes as the last
You might not be underage but you certainly are stupid if you think this operates on the same principle
One more season would have been great... Instead we get 2 more seasons of Game of Thrones, which is easily subpar in comparison of even Season 2.
>tfw you thought season 1 was edgy pseudo-intellectual shit
>tfw you unironically love season 2
That's cuz it's popular
why do you think GoT or TWD have good ratings? they're utterly shit but audiences eat up that shit
whats it like having shit taste lad?
you'd have to be a special type of pleb
MUH SAM AND DEAN
Stop deliberately over-simplifying user. The great dialogue, excellent performances, rich cinematography and tremendous sense of foreboding lent credibility to the tropes.
>implying s2 isn't for patricians
>tfw you unironically thought both seasons were great in their own right
>tfw season 2 was just criminally misunderstood and wasn't even given a chance at all, it was hated right off the bat
There wasn't enough Daddario in season 1 though, sweet baby Jaysus
Im with her
>pretending it's easy to just make a great show
simmer down there would ya sport?
>S01 Final Boss
Hastur the Unspeakable, The Yellow King, from dim Carcosa and Aldeberaan
>S02 Final Boss
A nigger in a subway tunnel with a leather jacket and jeans
>thinking Rust was supposed to be taken seriously
Most of what he said was tongue-in-cheek and when he was being serious, Marty was there to call him out on his bullshit.
>There wasn't enough Daddario in season 1 though
Serious dearth of Lilli Simmons and fuckin' all.
I got legit spooked and have no blankets near, wat do?
>S01 Final Boss
>Hastur the Unspeakable
Try "Inbred tard with a flair for accents"
I mean, S1>>>S2 but calm the fuck down.
Season 2 had no final boss and it sure as shit wasn't Chief Holloway. If anything the final boss was the Vinci political machine and it only won.
Who gives a shit? The first few episodes of season 1 were good and then it went to shit, and season 2 was garbage. Good riddance.
RIP to Look At Me! I'm Acting: The Show
Errol was not the Yella King, he was more like their executioner and since the cult had moved on to greener pastures, Errol and the other acolytes continued going through the motions.
At least Season 1 won't be dragged down any further by the Fukunagaless mess pizza.
>you now remember people calling True Detective the best television show ever
lol
>the moron marks himself
One of the best ones Ive seen kek. It was genuinely a great show but season 2 switching directors fucking ruined it by the third episode. Honestly you could erase the first four episodes and use the last four as the whole season.
S2 was (rightly IMO) disliked because there was no foil for the unadulterated moodiness and depression. Rust worked because Marty existed. There was no one in s2 to lift the mood out of the black, straight-faced mire every once in a while.
The plot was also baffling. Pizzolatto managed to somehow create a story that was simultaneously convoluted and paper thin. It just wasn't compelling at all.
