Bump

Can't compete with Daddario's tits or Monaghan's ass

Vince posting was the only good thing to come from season 2.

>could have had McAdam's ass tapped out
>could have had Abigail Spencer's tits out
>got neither

fucked up

.

Season 1 was neat for its almost mythic, atmospheric vibe.
Season 2 was neat for its depth, twists and interesting look into city-level corruption with a somewhat charming ensemble cast.

Objectively better than season 1. Sad to see it panned in reviews.

It's a pretty good show but nowhere as great as the first half of the first season.
On the other hand it doesn't jump the shark towards the end like first season did.

Someone once told me he'd make me sleep with the fishes, but he didn't. Couldn't even make me yawn at the fucking aquarium.

I watched season 1 and it was terrible

You know the old adage "leave 'em while you're lookin good", Ray? Well I'm the prom queen and I ain't goin nowhere

>Monaghan's ass

Jesus christ, how could I have forgotten about that? She has been my waifu since Mission Impossible 3. Surprised I don't think about dat ass daily desu.

Only got around to watch it recently and I actually liked it. All the main characters were surprisingly interesting despite rather boring premises (junkie cop, abused cop, fag cop). Frank was great. People died rapidly, the shootout with Mexicans was great and there was a plenty of gratuitous LA shots.
Did not really mind the lack of mystery (which turned out to be a cop out in the first one anyway).
Opening song sucked though.

Honest no bullshit assessment it was pretty awful. Couldn't even finish the season.

Damn shame because season one gave us some gold.

>Opening song sucked though.
Fuck you

>/wethink/?
I hope you and your cunt of a mother die from cancer

>those lyrics
It's like they had somebody write an oh so ominous song. Too obvious.

Caspere knew this

it was pretty shitty and tough to get through

but it had so many awesome memes. Posting on Sup Forums during this was great

>fat kid named chad
>fat pussy
>big dicks
>vinceposting
>caspere
the list could go on

they'll probably do another season in the future.
MakeTrueDetectiveGreat Again

It was good. Not great, but good TV.

Why the hell did they cast actual pornstars for that shitty orgy mansion when there was like one tit on screen for 3 seconds and why did Detective Brazzers never even get naked?

This.
It was consistently awful the entire time

>DID HE SHIT IN YOUR SHOES
s2 was something special.

best season of television in a long time

true pleb filter

season one is GREAT mate, season 2 is ABSOLUTE FUCKING GARBAGE TRASH HOLY FUCKING SHIT it made me mad, i stopped watching by episode three, i hated every character and every plot point and every everything, it's fucking trash

this was the most disappointing thing

all the hype to finally see ani slut around and nothing good happened

It would've been a fucking crazy arc if when she got drugged in the sex-cult mansion she ended up getting gangbanged and then decided to stay or work for the villains or something.

Instead of literally nothing happening after episodes of build up.

I stopped after ep 1 and 2 of season 1. Should I try again?

she's too pure

yeah season 1 is great

the seasons aren't connected

>the "big dicks" part was improv
Really shows you what women are like.

tfw ani will never evaluate my dick

They shouldn't have wasted time having her watch porn and talk about cocks all day.

And men like big tits and a nice ass. What's your point?

>flashbacks to some charlie mansion mother fucker from her dads hippy cult that raped her
>literally goes nowhere
There was a lot of subplots that didn't need to exist that really bogged everything down.

It was there to explain why she dislikes her father because the fact that he was a crazy cultist is considered normal in the US.

Overall it was decent. Sure it was shit next to S1, but I'd probably give it a 6/10 overall, with a few really spectacular sequences. It was still above average next to most shit on TV.

I kind of wish critics had just pretended to like it. I'd take another S3 if it was as good as S2. I mean, obviously I'd prefer it to be better, but I'd take that over nothing, which is what we have now.

Colin Farrell was good and serious and Vince Vaughn was funny and hammy. Whatshername was just there to fuck big cocks (Colin's) and Whatshisname was a closet homo with a troubled past or something.

In the end they all died I think. I don't even remember. I'm not sure even Caspere know what happened.

I totally forgot about that part.
She got raped and now she's addicted to porn and probably getting fucked if she has the time, and her sister is an actual whore.

And then this goes nowhere and adds nothing to the story or her character arc.

Velcro and his son showed he was an unstable motherfucker who would trash shit for real.

None of Gaybike's shit mattered or paid off, but that's because he died.

I loved Vinces last scene where he talks to all the people who basically made him who he was.
Its his one genuinely great scene and its his fucking last.

took me 3 days of forcing myself to get through the first episode, then stopped.

can't speak for the rest of the season, but man that first episode is fucking shit.

Vince's performance was pretty uneven but I agree he nailed that last scene.

From the dusty mesa

youtube.com/watch?v=ZRPpCqXYoos

They've tied my hands and legs together and thrown me in the goddamn river. Like I was fish food, fucking Tetra brand, Ray. Only guess what? I'm fucking Houdini. I'm Rasputin. Abracadabra, I'm back, an escape artist, un-fucking-killable. The only difference between me and them is that I can take a hit to stomach, because I'm not a fucking pussy, and my cock's bigger.

Casper knew this.

>They say every dog has its day. Well I'm a fucking cat, Ray. A cat in a Chinese restaurant. I've been able to evade these bloodthirsty chinks for weeks, but now they've got me bound and gagged. These chinks are gonna slice me up and eat me, Ray. Caspere knew this.

Jesus Pizzolatto, where did that come from?

>Surprise! It was another random person who was in one scene early on! We fooled you again!

>Some might say I'm a bull in a China shop, but most days I feel more like a dog in a Chinese restaurant. The fucking Chinaman, Ray.

>Sup Forums guesses the ending
>complains the show was predictable
>Sup Forums doesn't guess the ending
>complains the show wasn't predictable enough

They say it's a dog eat dog world, Ray. But what they didn't tell you is that I'm the fucking chinaman and it's lunch time.

People guessed the ending with lawnmower man and with random cute secretary or PA or whatever the girl was in season 2, it has nothing to do with being predictable or unpredictable.

Anyone who had faith in the show assumed it was more intelligent than to pull some Hardy Boys-style nonsense reveal that no serious writer should ever use.

I expected a better plot than some fucking SVU episode where you know the janitor did it because it's a mildly recognizable actor.

I wanted the mythic atmosphere just in a city. The panning of the shots over the city with the highways as the veins of the city gave me more chills than anything that actually happened with any character or plot point

Hard to have a show in LA without that.
While the 5 shots of Vinci every episode were rather annoying, I enjoyed the visuals in general.. a lot.

S1: Drive
S2: Only God Forgives
patricians like all 4

Below average. 6/10.

Its a liscensed track from leonard cohen you fuck

Bcuz the women are supposed to be fuck meat so why not. Hbo didnt force the cable nudity meme on s2

These

>gangbanged
Wow edgy

>literally nothing
No only flashbacks to being raped as a child and murdering a security guard with chekhovs knife

Watch all of both

Were you expecting them to show the diddling?

This. And explains her weird sex attitudes and makes otherwise tame orgy more frightening

I liked Only God Forgives, but TD Season 2 was meandering nonsense that tried too hard.

>"wow, edgy"
>"women are supposed to be fuckmeat"

hilarious meta commentary, I bet you do this in DC movie threads, too

I liked TD Season 2, but Only God Forgives was meandering nonsense that tried too hard.

kill yourself

Im sorry but a lead actress being gang raped and casting c tier porn stars for prostitutes are not nearly the same thing

>(Me)
Thanks

>raped

I didn't say gangraped. I said gangbanged. Her watching porn and then deciding to live it out would've been a better set up and pay off than literally nothing.

>Peta Jensen
>c tier

kys

>frank death scene

strong stuff

I was so hoping he would make it.
;__;

Oh yeah annie totally wanted to get consensually gang banged by the mayors son, the attorny general/governor, velcoro's bosses, etc. In fact that is why she brought the knife, for kinky sex

She looks gross. Like that fetal achohol syndrome woman that ruins game grumps

She brought the knife in case she was about to get raped. If she ended up getting seduced by the environment while high as kite, that's more interesting than what actually happened.

>Oh yeah annie totally wanted to get consensually gang banged

You're right, no woman has ever wanted more than one dick at once.

>by the mayors son, the attorny general/governor, velcoro's bosses, etc.

Vaughns character was absolutely senseless. I'd rather had less dimensions in storytelling and more screentime of god warrior aka based gaycop.

Also the dialogue is pure autism. This is what happens if you overdose the pizzalatto.

what the others said.
also it's unique too, that it had different lyrics in almost every episode, and hinting on the story.
also it cuts the yadayada part which the original track had, making it even more legendary.
One of the best openings ever.

This

>Finally, after all this time, I have become the True Detective™
fucking hell really?

>What do /wethink/?

That you're too stupid to make your own opinion and need others to spoonfeed it to you to fit in?

>A friend once told me that if you teach a man to fish he could feed himself for life. Well Ray, the pond is out of fish so all that is left now is to swim to the other side...
>A friend once told me that god is a nigger, and we're all stuck here holding the whip.
>never look a gift horse in the mouth Ray especially if you're not a dentist
>I gave my father a bakers dozen, he slapped me for every broken egg.

>"An old proverb tells us that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. The point is Ray, whenever you think you've caught the man you're looking for, there's two more ready to jump you."

You think I would do that, Ray? Beat a woman within an inch of her life? Let me tell you something. I only raised my hand to a woman once. At a Celine Dion concert. and you better believe I raised them both.


>caspere knew this

>They say cats always land on their feet Ray. What they don't tell you is most of them break their toes when they land. You can't even cast broken toes.

You know they say time flies, Ray? Well I'm flying right now, but I'm all out of time

>They say if your dog shits in the park to pick it up. What they don't tell you is the guy with no hands has to use his mouth.

>They say like father like son, Ray. But I never knew my father, and has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

>Y'know Ray if life is like a box of chocolates, every one I've been grabbing is coconut

>They say you can take the homeboy out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the homeboy. But you know what Ray? I took the car hood and put it over the homeboy who is my mechanic because my car needed to be fixed.

>When I was a child I had an ant farm my father bought me. Those bastards never grew anything Ray.

>They say people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, Ray. Well sometimes you just gotta accept that living in a glass house was a stupid idea in the first place.
