True Detective on HBO

[dfergie]

I liked it, I think the slow pace introduced the characters and shows what makes them tick ...

 

[whitewolf8214]

I enjoyed it but too slow paced for me hope it starts to get a little quicker pace and if don't pick up a little more I will probably delete it!!!

 

[dfergie]

That's the thing it's a show you must watch and not be on the computer, cell phone etc or you will miss something, not for those with short attention spans.

 

[whitewolf8214]

I did watch it without being on anything or doing anything else!!!

 

[Teehar]

Slow paced describes this show to a T.It must be pretty decent though,I didn't fall asleep.

I liked how Woody started telling him to STFU ...

I would have done the same thing,one step further,I would have requested a new partner.Could you imagine having to work with him?

 

[dfergie]

Woody asked what he thought ...

My Assessment...

I like it, but I still don't know what it is nor how to describe the show to anyone. I guess it feels as though somebody tossed the shows Hannibal, The Following and Memphis Blues into a blender and out came True Detective. Oh, and don't forget to toss-in just a pinch (but not too much) of Haller in order to get Rust Cohle - partner from hell.

I must say the producers and writers pretty much captured the deep-south from Georgia to East Texas.

I agree it was slow-paced but it's only the 1st episode. Give it a couple more episodes to see how it goes.

 

[TNGTony]

Slow, my ass! I was enthralled the entire hour. The time just melted. The acting in this episode was fan-freaking-tastic.

I am a little tired of dark, brooding police dramas, but this one was done right. I love the narrative. It's a keeper for me!

Wife and I wanted to like it, but alas, no more, even though Woody was a fellow Hanover alumn for her.

Seeing Things: Season 1, Episode 2

Sunday, 19 January 2014 (9:00 PM ET)

"Quesada warns Hart and Cohle that they may be replaced by an occult-crimes task force; the pair follows a lead to a rural cathouse and an incinerated church; Hart finds respite away from home."

Don't forget to rate this episode over at IMDb.com: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2704380/

 

[dfergie]

I re-watched and was just as drawn in as my first watch ...

 

[riffjim4069]

Tonight's viewing of a 2nd episode should be interesting. I'm looking forward to it.

 

[riffjim4069]

Excellent show tonight. Talk about your cops with a major dysfunction...pill-popper with a doom 'n gloom personality, and a guy with a hot wife who can't keep it zipped...with a smokin' hot bimbo. 10-out-of-10 stars just for that display of T&A.

 

[fredp]

That bimbo is Alexandra Daddario. Totally smok'n hot. The type of gal that would make men here completely forget that their Hoppers/Sling were having problems...

...The type of gal that would make men here completely forget that their Hoppers/Sling were having problems...

You underestimate the extent of Dish geekdom here in the Forums. And many would be upset with a naked girl for ruining their cake at the party.

It was very good episode,and my oh my,she is smoking hot!
