Should I set up a True Detective spoilers thread?

I better go watch it before Nrico comes in blabbering...

Looks good. First Series was a bit style over substance imo & the second has undoubtedly got the cool indie vibe about it, but i thought that was very promising, some great tunes too. Not a big Vince Vaughn fan tho.

Anyone watching "The Returned" on Netflix? Not bad at all, a bit weird.

Great show.

I've been watching one called Resurrection.
It would seem that the two have the same storyline.

When you say, it undoubtedly has got the cool indie vibe about it, what does that mean?

It hasn't got mainstream sensibilities & it thinks alot of itself.

I had a look at True Detective season 2, first episode this evening and I really can't figure out how it got to here, a piece of crap from what was season 1. It has the brains and complexity of a Charles Bronson revenge vigilante film,
though still a hundred times better than Game of Thrones.
How come the Irish man gets the role of the drunk who can polish off what looks to be a bottle of bushmills, have a little snooze and be good to go an hour later?

Really enjoyed No Offence on Channel 4, glad it's got a second series. Risteárd Cooper made a very good baddie!

Enjoyed it myself.
Wasn't sure I would when I read one of the storylines but it was very well done.

I know what you mean MS, but the first series was a slow burner as well, 1st 2.5 episodes were just weird then it started and just kept going and going.
First episodes are always about introducing characters and setting context for each.
I'm prepared to give it multiple chances, loved the first series, it got me through a 14 hour Abu Dhabi - Sydney flight!
