ElectricBoogaloo May 15, 2015 Author Share May 15, 2015 (edited) I still cant tell much about the plot, but it looks promising.I was kind of cracking up that the first trailer they released was all music and even though they added dialogue to the new trailer, you still can't tell much about the plot. I mean, I assume there will be murder and mayhem and of course I will watch it, but I came away from the trailer thinking that they just want to create a mood without giving away any specifics.I agree that Rachel McAdams looks pretty badass in the new trailer. I started imagining a backstory about what happened to Regina George after high school that turned her into this awesome cop.

blixie July 1, 2015 Share July 1, 2015 I think this piece in Vanity Fair is the one every one is probably referring to. I think he is totally pretentious, but I loved the first season and I think he is a strong writer, but I'm not sure he ever REALLY planned for this project to...work out? Succeed? Much less become the sort of culture zeitgeist that it kind of became. He wrote it, had to great actors who were committed as producers as well, and the amazing Carey Fukunaga, there was singularity of vision I think that made S1 great, even with all it's obvious flaws. They were able to do all that within a particular creative bubble, the fact that despite it's sort of long production schedule, Pizzolatto hadn't even started S2, meant he felt a fuck ton of pressure to deal in real time with all the smoke blown up his ass, and all the criticisms lobbed at his head, and I think he chose to disregard many of the criticisms and really deeply inhale all the smoke. Here we are at a second season with a lot of the same flaws w/o the same really great things that helped define the first: immediately great performances, and a single director with real style and vision. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/26538-true-detective-in-the-media/#findComment-1285657

I love the opening montage and song. I just wish the show was of the same quality--or at least similar. I thought maybe the lines were different verses, but what I really noticed was greater clarity of the words this week--or at least I thought I did, but that's always dependent upon the network carrier's technology. Anyway, it seemed like the voice was mixed louder than the music this week. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/26538-true-detective-in-the-media/#findComment-1322393

I think it was on about two seasons ago but did not get renewed for another season. I never watched it, because she just does not have the screen presence and I could not take how she dragged her words, speaking like she's always exasperated or something.

Fringe was just as bad, if not worse, but it was scifi with alternate dimensions and time travel, so fudging the distance from Boston to NYC isn't such a big deal within the genre.

Interesting quote: I've likened it to ... science fiction ... the real great writers, they don't say, "okay, it's 2025, you're on Neptune, there's this creature. They start in the middle of the narrative, and you're going, "whoa, whoa, what the hell?" .... "That's what 'True Detective' does. You launch into the middle of a thing, and things are revealed all through the show that [make you] go, 'Oh!' There are 'oh!' moments, and you understand by the end of the thing what's going on. It's actually very brave writing and very clever writing," he said.
