True Detective

It's not as bad as GoT, but it's obviously more "real" and less "fantastic" so the scenes that are there may be more present in your mind.

I'd give it a 6 or 7 if GoT is at 10. I'd think a bit lower, but I don't know how much impact the realistic setting is worth.

Doesn't fuckin matter how many. The quality of asses and titties in season 1 trumps all of game of thrones.

Critic Reviews for True Detective Season 2 - Metacritic

(Only the first 3 episodes were sent to critics).

Is there a leak for those review eps out? Didn't they decide to stream the review copies after the 4 GoT episodes leaked?

Well these guys are cheery

First episode was not bad...

Hate the new theme song, was hoping they would use the song from the trailer.

Will be interesting to see where this leads.

Velcoro is amazing.

New theme song is terrible. Farrell is playing that role really well. That school scene was hard to watch and they got right into it with the fucked up backstory when he was talking to that attorney in the beginning. I thought it was a good first episode.

Nice music so far, really loved the Leonard Cohen intro and Nick Cave at the end. Good start overall seems like a lot of potential.

I love Cohen as well...but felt it wasn't one of his best.

The scene with the hippy Zen father daughter talk....Was that the same location from the helicopter sniper scene from Lethal Weapon? The one where the dude gets wasted by Gary Busey in a helicopter outta nowhere?

Good show. I didn't like the music either though. It doesn't fit the theme of the show, at least what I saw tonight. Unless it veers back into occult territory.

The theme song lyrics is supposed to have something to do with the plot right?

No idea. The theme song wasn't great either. In my post above, I was referring to some of the music or score in the show proper.
