    I actually liked Season 2 but the ending was horrible, and so many silly mistakes in the writing in the last couple of episodes.

    Colin Farrel and Taylor Kitsch were both great and really carried most of the episodes, I didn't like Vince Vaughn at first but he got really good by the end.

    Think I'll give it a go, the first one was brilliant, McConaughey and Harrelson were superb.

    Not sure about Vince Vaughan, but I'll give it a go.

    On a similar kind of note with detective/police stuff, I highly recommend Fargo (tv series), Billy Bob Thornton is immense in it.

    Fargo was unbelievably good. Enjoyed it more than the first season of True Detective which was also great.

    Bizarre, just bumped the Fargo thread as the new series starts in October.

    The guardian said that true detective swapped great actors and a simple plot in series 1 for the opposite in series 2, which I agree with. The love story part was *, but I still enjoyed the series.

    Apparently Nic Pizzolatto has written a couple of episodes for season 3. It's yet to be green lit but it's looking likely to happen.

    Matthew McConaughey has already said he'd be up for doing another season. They really need to get him back. Season 1 was one of the finest seasons of TV I've ever seen.

    Aye it looks as if it’s going back to the first season formula, which imo is a classic.

    Season 1 is still arguably the greatest season of TV I’ve ever seen. Just incredible.

    Chucked season 2 after a couple of episodes. Wasn’t enjoying it at all.

    Really like that trailer. Mahershala Ali is a great choice for it. Top actor.

    looks as if it has the dark,gritty, creepy deep south vibe from season 1.that season 2 lacked.setting season 2 In LA was a mistake.

    Started watching season 1. Good so far. McConaughey and Harrelson are great together. The scene when McConaughey returns the lawnmower and Harrelson loses his * was very good.

    Watched both last night...ticks along very nicely and waiting for the first twist.

    Has that vibe that season 2 missed.
