All memes aside, were there any redeeming parts to True Detective S2?

All memes aside, were there any redeeming parts to True Detective S2?

THIS IS MY LEAST FAVORITE LIFE

This scene

I liked that the main characters were all flawed.
I liked the idea of all of them being drawn in from different areas to work the one case,
I liked it didn't get dragged on for 7 seasons with plot twist after plot twist and cliff hangers at the end of each season, Seriously America you need to stop it with that shit.

It wasn't that horrible a season,
But Season one was so strong and so good that this just pales in fucking comparison

this chicks butt

Season 2 was better than season 1.

Thought it was better than season 1
I don't even care if I'm wrong
Every time Rust opened his mouth i was cringing, Casper knew this

Look mom I'm being contrarian again! Please love me

>stop cashing in on dumb people with too much cash

LA filming at its finest.
Apart from that...

It must be sad to be you

Traffic cop being brought into the case was the biggest mystery.

gay god warrior

there are gems scattered throughout.
it's an honest and very well done look into LA corruption, money, and power but I feel like that in itself is the downfall of the series for a lot of people.
We consume media from LA all the goddamn time and though this stands to be the prime example of police procedural cop drama genre of the region it still feels familiar in the way that we've seen a lot of things like it before. whereas season one had an atmosphere often unseen, seeped in mythology, religion, spirituality, nihilism all coalescing into a thick murky atmosphere over the whole thing.

season two is a great fucking show, it deserves to stand on its own but all I'm saying is that theres a lot of familiar elements to it that make it a lot less compelling and mysterious.

This webm

this but they still still owe us an orgy where ani gets gangbanged

specifically with Ray's Lynchian death dream and Ani's backstory with cults and her dad and shit, it seemed like there would be a lot more mythology surrounding everything, just a sort if modernized take on it, but its still just the vapidity of excess, vanity, and pride.

I've jerked it to the idea of that scene. It would have been great.

Did this actually go to air?

I enjoyed that one shootout Taylor Kitsch had in the warehouse/whatever the fuck. I also loved Collin Ferrell's character.
I really thought they were gonna pull out some spooky shit in the second half of the season and then it never came.

>no scene where she gets DP'd and mindbroken and then becomes a villain for the rest of the season

I liked the shootout.

was the last episode good? I never watched it because it was so disappointing and made me cringe up till that point

the atmosphere and the male main characters were good. McAdams' character felt forced and sucked.

Like the rest of the show yes and no

she was fine up until it turned out she had the oh so original backstory of rape

I didn't even like rachel in mean girls very much. She gets more qt with age. It's crazy

should i watch this? i loved season 1 and i'm not expecting this season to have the same tone and god-tier actors in McConnoghey and Harrelson but does it still deal with the cultists and/or spooky themes?

but does it still deal with the cultists and/or spooky themes?

Not at all.

what's it about m8 in short if could help me out

mostly shit with some hilarious scenes and memes like fat pussy, shitting in shoes, etc.

ok to marathon

Ray talking with his dead dad was GOAT tier

Cops stole diamonds from kids and the kids get revenge

so i should watch it for the memes?

interesting

Corrupt illuminati type dudes running things, kill off their account who swindled a big time gangster who tried to buy himself into the illuminati.

Three random cops end up on the case, one of them also works for big time gangster, they slowly unravel the case, two cops and the gangster end up dead, the other on the run for the foreseeable future and the illumanti win.

The End. S2 in a Nutshell.

>shitting is shoes
I don't remember that part

he asks fat pussy if the school bully shit in his shoes lmao

Oh right

I think the ending with Frank was really great and I liked the soundtrack a lot.

It also had god warrior, the adventures of mad dad and fat fuck son, and brought us frankposting.

>aspen? That's a boy's name?
>ass pen
Ray was a treasure

It was pretty good as far as crime drama goes.

However the flaws are amplified in comparison with Season 1.

>Too many characters
>All of the characters stories are hamfisted together awkwardly
>Cringey and often childish dialogue
>Poor cinematography
>A bad overarching narrative
>An almost senseless plot

It did have it's moments, the Lynchian scene was pretty good. You can almost see where some of the more interesting plot points shine through, like the Mexican Death-worship gang, or the hippy child molestation hints. But instead they chose to push the weird diamond plot forward instead.

I blame them for getting rid of Fukunaga

Frank Semyon's house.

>Frank Semen

Literally every aspect of this show is a fucking meme

i think i might just watch Westworld or Stranger Things

thx guys

Is this shed what you call 'a house' in the US of A?

never seen the series just like you but i think it's just one of those all glass windowed minimalist homes that sit on top of the Hollywood hills

they cost millions

also, way to make it about the country you're obsessed about m8
