Ok, 2 episodes in. Here we go... First off, I really like it so far. VERY, VERY similar vibe to Season 1, with some very similar circumstances I won't reveal for spoiler purposes....almost too similar. Nonetheless, the creepiness factor felt very similar and their are details galore if you don't pay attention too, could be easily missed. In any case, so far so good. Looking forward to some good ole fashioned Clutchfans speculation!
I'm hooked. Really good first two episodes. Pleasantly surprised by Stephen Dorff's chops in this. Hope it keeps up. Pretty similar to Season 1 but I have zero issues with that.
Looking forward to watching this. Thanks for the spoiler free reviews of the first 2 episodes. Love hearing it has the look and feel of season 1. That's what I want.
Great! I'm really looking forward to it now but I think I'm going to wait and binge it when it's all out.
I thought it was really good and well done. I want to know what the peep hole was used for (i can guess several things) And the trailer that shows what is coming makes it look like it will be a damn good season.
Spoiler The girl seems really young. I wonder though if it was the brother spying/wanting to protect/etc his sister from that guy. Or some type of variation of that.
Yeah, but I hope they're just alluding to parts of it, if they try to rehash that story with some different plot points thrown in I'll be incredibly disappointed and the result won't be anywhere near the Paradise Lost documentaries, which are fantastic.
The music is so good in this show, it really maintains the thrill and suspense along with bridging a certain feel to the entirety of it all. Also the lead acting and the support acting is 100%. Loving it.
OK, I'm hooked. I like everything - the actors are top notch, the photography is spot on (I've been to NW Arkansas and that's exactly how it looks) and the music is simply fantastic. I really like the telling of the story from the three different points in the lifetime of the main character because I can relate to what he's going through especially in his mind's eye. After seeing sooooo much unoriginality in both movies and TV these days, this story comes across as refreshingly realistic with vivid depictions of life and the emotional toll it takes on those living in poorer areas of rural America.
As an aside, I've been to Bentonville back when you had to fly into Fayetteville, rent a car and drive to Bentonville in order to get to Walmart's HQ. This was back before the NW Arkansas Regional Airport was built. Saw a lot of NW Arkansas countryside. And yes, there is a Walmart across the road from their main headquarters. This season of True Detective takes place in the early 80s and 90s before you had the massive growth by Walmart so you don't see them everywhere like you do now.
the guy who directed it also made Green Room and Blue Ruin (although I think he left the show and didn't do the later episodes)
hbo model so superior to netflix. releasing whole thing at once dosent give the show chance to get hyped and gain steam etc. and i also enjoy them releasing two episodes out of the gate so i can actually sink teeth in. i normally hate split up time line story telling, but they are doing it in a way that is not confusing thankfully.
