      Season 3 of True Detective started on Sunday with a double episode premiere.  Very pleased with the season so far, much more like season 1 than season 2.

        Good to know. I just read an article that said critics gave it a favorable review, but that ratings were lower than season 2. Fwiw, I actually liked season 2 but am looking forward to season 3

          Saw the first episode last night and it is very promising. Lower key and currently less weird than s.1 was after the first episode. More grim realism.

          I love s.1 and I’ve seen it three times. but it wasn’t as amazing as a lot of people made out. The ending was underwritten and poorly conceived. Likewise, S.2  wasn’t as bad as everyone made out and the ending was heart wrenching.

            Saw both eps… Lots of "intense, brooding" moments... We'll see where it goes...  ::)

              Season 1 will be a near impossible act to follow. McConaughey and Harrelson were unreal. McConaughey won an Oscar that year and harrelso n couldnt have played that part better. That season haunts me.

              “Wheeen the last light warms  the rocks and rattlesnakes unfooooold.” Damn son!

              But I am looking forward to this season

              Maybe so. Maybe not

                I detested Season 2 but loved Season 1.

                A bit of a turn-off that Nic Pizzolatto famously plagiarized Thomas Ligotti (whose writing is an absolute ray of sunshine!). Would it have killed him to give Ligotti some credit? I don't get that, did he think he would get away with that?

                I'll start Season 3 despite my misgivings, and am hopeful that the show gets back on track, minus the plagiarism.

                Think it, be it.

                  Their writing…. but season 1 is amazing regardless of who weots what

                    The King in Yellow and Carcosa mythology were taken from Robert W Chambers. I don't recall whether there was attribution on that, so unsure whether plagiarism applies.

                    The misanthropy of Rustin Cohle is where True Plagiarism occurred. The work "borrowed" from, Conspiracy Agaisnt the Human Race, is almost unreadably misanthropic and dire. You might feel like Marty enduring one of Rustin's melancholic rants reading the damn thing.

                    Think it, be it.

                      That’s funny. One of my favorite moments form that show is when Marty is impatiently waiting in the car for Rustin and he says “ who walks that fuckin slow?”

                          Read this today which shed a little light on TD S02. It's a post from a year ago, but Nic Pizzolatto apparently confirmed today on Twitter.

                            Wow. A lot to read, but makes me want to give it another shot.

                              Well, Netflix listened to customer demands…Punisher Season 2 has a much higher body count, and I'm only up to episode 3...

                              I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                You finished s.1?! So much promise but so little plot development. Gave up three episodes from the end ‘cos it EAs doing my head in.

                                  Yeah, I enjoyed Season 1. All of these streaming shows suffer the same pacing issues, and I have a pretty low bar set for plot development.

                                          Punisher was far more watchable than Jessica Jones and The Iron Fist and I enjoyed it just as much–possibly more--than Luke Cage.

                                            I’m sure, but that’s a mighty low bar.  Its like a cavity filling being preferable to a root canal 🙂
