Lol thanks man I try. Personally I think it means I spend to much time on here and need to focus on other, more important things. And it shames me that you brought it up.

Lol

[uh-oh]

its too early on to really discuss it honestly

[Victor]

Really confusing to me man

[dull boy]

Spoilers if you haven't seen the first episode yet...

The direction was all over the place. The spiritual guru came across as pathetic and he called his daughter, Athena, the Goddess of love, which is incorrect. The path they took to arrive there was absurd. Two detectives serving a foreclosure notice? To a woman who just happens to have a missing daughter who worked at the detective's father's temple of gay? Talk about a fucking reach. Last year felt so excellently crafted that everyone was looking for Stanley Kubrick-esque clues because you thought you knew everything was purposeful. Colin Farrell's acting is on point for the most part, but the over the top weed, booze, coke and pills in every scene makes it feel fake. If you wanna be cartoonish then be it, this feels like a comic book being directed from a more serious angle. The director from every episode last year is gone and the landscape shots set over drums felt over the top as well. And cop bitch's sister just happens to be working where she raids? And biker dude just happens to find this missing dude on the tail end of his suicidal adrenaline binge?

Gay gay and gay.

yea dude got athena and aphrodite mixed up

as for the chick raiding the cam place tho, she set that up BECAUSE her sister was there. at least thats what i got from it maybe i just read into it wrong

my main thing tho is i'm not big on murder mysteries and cop shows in general. i loved the first season tho, mainly cuz harrelson and mcconahey or whatever the fuck were DOPE, it was FRESH and just slick to me. the main selling point that had me interested as well was the weirdness of the murders, the celtic symbolism and shit, i was hoping there would be some ancient gaul/celtic sacrifice type pagan shit tied in

i was let down with how the first season ended tho

i'll continue to watch this tho. i might wait until its all out and watch it at once

First of all, I think the 3 main characters are very interesting. I mean, they did a pretty decent job of showing that they all have some seriously fucked issues and there's potential for those issues to come into play now that their lives have crossed paths. So far for me, this is what is driving the show because the murder isn't really all that interesting yet (the murder aspect of season 1 was clearly much more compelling on every level).

my two cents:

The bike cop's gf is hot af. She needs many many nude scenes throughout the season, I don't care about the context. Also, Bike Cop got serious issues tbh... he could probably easily get out of the situation at work if he revealed his issues but has to play it straight.

Vince Vaughn was a horrible choice for that character. I really think they should've went with a different actor for that role. I keep waiting for Owen Wilson to walk in. Vaughn is the only actor that sticks out as bad casting though, I actually like the 3 cops (or is it down to 2 now?) Even Rick Springfield killed it in his cameo.

I like that we already know the girl cop is down for some freaky shit but don't want to commit over it, the possibilities there make me happy. I liked the scene where she is peeping porn.

The Velcoro/Eagle Head dude scene left me like what tho. It was a pretty suspenseful scene, I enjoyed it but yo, we will have to wait until next episode to see how it all works out. I hope it wasn't something just for shock value yanno, it's real important how they play it out. It could be cheap or it could be dope.

I'm still on board with this show though, I would imagine it's going to start picking up.

lmao i only watched last night, but the impression i got from it was the cop chick deliberately setup the raid on there as she had got wind her sister was working there

i could be wrong, but def remember feeling that

[Hush]

I will give it 3 episodes before I totally write it off

The actors are doing great
But yea direction been ass

[Strikta]

It's definitely confusing at this point.. they were all over the place.

Very impressed w/ Vaughn & Farrell's acting, Kitsch(sp?) too.

I do NOT like that it's set in a fictional city tho.

I got a feeling things will start coming together by the 3rd-4th episode tho... & overall by the end of it we'll all be saying wow.

[Amen.]

Yea.. word strik, 3 or 4 episodes, shit going to make some what sense... I think right now they are purposely shooting to make sure the viewers are questionings to keep and pull more views.

acting is good tho..

I'm seriously curious to see what's good w/ this walkin dead spin off? isn't it supposed to begin this year? supposedly, 1st few episodes are going to cover like a year before the outbreak took place and lead up to the outbreak. Sounds raw.

[Strikta]

Fear The Walking Dead starts sometime this summer, I think very soon actually.

[Amen.]

thats the name of it tho?

wow lol

idk tho, I'm definitely have to watch it...

I want to see which angle they use on this prequel type story line before they get in to the actual purpose of the show.

[uh-oh]

strik you shouldnt be watching anything other than game of thrones till you are caught up on that lol

[Amen.]

I need to watch that shit too...

been in an out every season...

haven't been consistent.
