Fight me.

Why? I'm not angry or something, just confused.

I mean, I'll always have a soft spot for the season just for giving us all the amazing Ray Velcoro:





And Vince Vaughn unintentionally being the funniest he's ever been as Frank Semyon. But the plot was a complete and utter mess, and the characters and dialogue were all about 10 steps back from Season 1. Without any of those aspects being strong, it just sank into self-parody.

But the self-parody was pretty hilarious.

aaaaand True Detective is done. http://www.avclub.com/article/true-dete ... ead-237307

Shame. I was hoping they could put Pizzolato on the ol' Larry David schedule, and allow him to come back after some time with another season that's less half-baked than Season 2. Although, I gotta say, the sheer bizarreness of that season kind of fascinated me in a sick sort of way.

I'll miss Colin Farell's chubby redhead kid, is what I'm trying to say.

WOW, this show is fucking amazing so far. Matthew McConne-I'm not even going to try, and Woody Harrelson are both fantastic. The direction and cinematography is astounding. Really reminds me of Twin Peaks, though. We don't really have any suspects on the murder, but the person they arrest in the 90's is most definitely not going to be the real killer.
