nymusix January 6, 2014 Share January 6, 2014 This show looks incredible. And let's be honest, Matthew McConaughey is on an insane hot streak of great projects. The last thing he wasn't great in, in my opinion, was The Lincoln Lawyer (2011). Plus, the critical hype is pretty absurd. So, all in all I think this is a very exciting show that probably deserves its own forum. Link to comment
David T. Cole January 6, 2014 Share January 6, 2014 Really looking forward to this one too AND I'm totally behind the model of a new case and cast each season. And it's a period piece too is it not? Icing on the cake. Hope it can be the sum of its parts. Link to comment

Icing on the cake. Hope it can be the sum of its parts. I think it takes place over something like 20 years. So a mix of modern day and period. (Does 90s count as period yet?) Link to comment
Lisin January 6, 2014 Share January 6, 2014 I am SO excited for this too. It's everything I love, 90's, real Texas accents, murder, detectives, gloom. I'm so in! Link to comment
TravisNelson76 January 6, 2014 Share January 6, 2014 Yep. This thing is exciting both because of it itself and because it pushes along the promising idea of anthology TV. Next we need an anthology sitcom! Link to comment

annlaw78 July 23, 2014 Share July 23, 2014 (edited) I'm liking the rumors of Colin Farrell and Timmy Riggins (er, Taylor Kitsch)! ETA: Colin Firth and Colin Farrell are not the same. Sorry, Colins! Edited July 23, 2014 by annlaw78 Link to comment

AimingforYoko August 4, 2014 Share August 4, 2014 How do you feel about Vince Vaughn? Do you think he's money? Link to comment
Aunty Sharon September 24, 2014 Share September 24, 2014 I'm not a fan of Vince Vaughn at all so he would never be my first choice. But then, before True Detective, I always found Matthew McConaughey really unappealing, so I'm happy to give Vince a shot. 1 Link to comment

SallyAlbright April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 Really excited for this now, the first trailer looks awesome. Who knew beautiful Rachel McAdams could be such a badass? Link to comment
ralfy April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Looks like a regular show, but who knows? Also, hopefully many of the large gaps in the first season can be resolved, at least through some back story. Link to comment
tennisgurl April 20, 2015 Share April 20, 2015 I wonder if this show will be set in the same universe as the first season? At least, with a small reference to "that weird cult thing in Louisiana" or something? Link to comment

At least, with a small reference to "that weird cult thing in Louisiana" or something?No, according to this somewhat spoilery Den of Geek article: http://www.denofgeek.us/tv/true-detective/238707/true-detective-season-2-everything-we-know-and-moreSo it starts June 21. Crap. I'm scheduled to move that day. There'll probably be 7 pages of episode posts before I see it. Link to comment
Mya Stone June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 Here's a comprehensive list of early reviews for S2 thus far (thanks, Metacritic). 6 positive, 6 mixed. I'm still excited! Link to comment
shapeshifter June 18, 2015 Share June 18, 2015 Here's a comprehensive list of early reviews for S2 thus far (thanks, Metacritic). 6 positive, 6 mixed. I'm still excited! Me too, but my worry has been that McConaughey was at the top of his game, and Woody Harrelson was, well, Woody F'in' Harrelson, and this would not be that. Skimming the reviews sounds like the problem is more in the writing, which doesn't make a lot of sense, since it's the same writer for all of the scripts. Maybe the writing was always secondary to the on-screen dynamic of McConaughey and Harrelson? Too bad it's not something like Robert Downey Jr. and David Duchovny. Some people just command attention without trying. 2 Link to comment
magdalene June 19, 2015 Share June 19, 2015 The critics have seen what - the first 3 episodes of the second season? I wouldn't be willing to judge this series as a success or failure until I had seen more episodes. 3 Link to comment

I wouldn't be willing to judge this series as a success or failure until I had seen more episodes. Yeah, I have to admit it took me about four episodes to get into the first season. I see this show as kind being written kind of like a novel, which makes reviewing it after 3 "chapters" seem a little silly. Either way, I'm excited. I absolutely adore Rachel McAdams. 2 Link to comment
