    i love the mini series format . 8 or 9 hours to tell a story is perfect , and means we as a viewer dont have to wait six full seasons to get resolution . Series 1 of TD was a masterpeice and one of the emotional, intense wathces ever. Also loved the fargo mini series as well as Band of Brothers . Can not wait for the new TD.

    Loved the first one. I'm looking forward to this but I don't think it will beat the first seasons dark nature, was creepy in elements with supernatural tones. This looks a completely different vibe.

    Really looking forward to season 2, I think Vince Vaughn will surprise a lot of people.

    A thought Woody Harrleson was easily just as good acting. It's just that McCounaghey got the far better more interesting character.

    But a honestly think Farrell and Vaughn will be superb. I expect it to be a completely different show. The first season was really slow at times but intense. A can see this season being more fast paced.

    Just watched season 1 episode 1. Tonight. Very good. MC Caunaghey has a dark character.

    Season 1 was epic. Season 2 certainly looks different, but will wait to judge.

    He was brilliant in season 1. I waited until the whole season was done so I could watch it over a few days when I had some time and really enjoyed it. Probably will do the same with season 2.

    Anybody watching season 2 ? I watched all of the episodes from season 2 so far the other day then started season 1. They're completely different but I like them both even though I'm freaked out by the type of * season 1 was focusing on.

    Don't think the acting in S2 lives up to Rust and Marty but it certainly isn't bad, the one on ones with Farrell and Vaughn are quite good, especially with the girl singing in the background, really like that.

    I know it's supposed to be a new story and everything each season but is there some crossover with the story ? The person that shot Velcoro was wearing an animal mask with some on the wall behind him too and the weirdos in S1 wore animal masks when they were doing the creepy *.

    Season 1 was far better, season 2 has been very slow so far.

    Absolute dung. I don't know how I managed to get through the whole season. It seems like they rushed into it off the hype of the first season without any conceivable idea as to what would come next. Madness.

    Watching the last episode now. Can't say I'm even fussed about what's going to happen tbh.

    It's been alright-ish for parts of the last few episodes but apart from that, pretty poor on the whole.

    That's just viewing it as a stand-alone series. If I was to compare it to the last one, I'd say it's been mostly *.

    Second season is 8 aswell, it's okay but not as good as the first. Worth a watch though.
