I have 3 theories.. & realistically they could all work out.

1. Non lethal ammo used to incapacitate Velcoro, for whatever reason Crow nigga wants him incapacitated for.

2. It's a dream & he wakes up... but not very likely.

3. He survives 2 buckshot shotty blasts.. one medium-close range, & one close range.. both in the midsection/gut area... spends the next 3 or so episodes recuperating.

yea, I'd have to agree w/ you on 1 & 2.

and yes @sraL

shows pretty dope.

I'm also thinking it was non-lethal and the crow dude is some goon working for whoever killed Caspere trying to figure out what Velcoro knows/what the police know. But then again his stomach did look like it got destroyed by the 2nd shot

or maybe it's that kid's dad he beat the shit out of lol

[Strikta]

Lol it's not Ass-pin's dad yo.

I think the one cop only got one blow job. The actress was trying to frame him to get out he ticket. But he obviously has ED. Had to pop pills to smash his girl. The scene with his mom was creepy as fuck how she was rubbing his back making sexual comments.

I don't like the hate this show is getting. If there was no season 1 people would be more open to what it's trying to do. Seems like every critic is nitpicking every single thing about this show. Upset that there wasn't some jaw dropping life changing revelation in episode one. It's gonna take a few episodes to get into it. That's how all these shows go. Then the appreciation for what happens early on comes.

[Fart]

Lol ass-pin

I think the bike cop is a gay. He was scoping that gay hooker for a good 30 seconds

[Ronin]

Bike cop def the ghey

[Strikta]

Yea he's funny fa sho.

[Orc]

[Orc]

The biggest problem this season has, compared to season 1, is the lack of focus and intrigue. The first season, if I remember correctly, opened with the murdered girl splayed on the tree with antlers. All of the character building and mood setting was done as a backdrop to a legitimate mystery. The murder was graphic and weird, and it all got more eerie the further it went. Rust Cohle's nihilistic monologuing was interesting because the show had a hook and a purpose. This season put to much emphasis on character building, with rather uninteresting characters, prior to really having us give a shit about the murder. Plus, the crime isn't that riveting. It's a dead city official, killed over a land deal. This isn't an exploration of insanity or psychopathic tendency in people, draped in gothic murder. It's just a run of the mill business-related murder in an outskirt of LA no one knows about. I think Farrell and Vaughn (yes, Vaughn) have been great actors in this, but neither character is that interesting. Farrell's entire wife/son storyline is pointless to me, the wife a cardboard cut out of a cliche wet blanket cop wife. We get it, he's self destructive, at the end of the road. I don't need seven scenes of him in a dive bar slamming whiskey set to emo-core Fiona Apple. Woodruw/Kitsch is a closeted vet with repression issues. Noted. McAdams is a hardass with internal struggles due to daddy issues. Ok, let's get to the part where the murder solving is interesting. The whole "who's investigating who!?" angle isn't interesting when the characters aren't working. The bird head seems like a shoehorned call back/hook to the season one, and didn't really work for me. I will say that the end of episode two was dope. The setting, the music, how efficiently and ruthless the take down was. I almost wish the show had the balls to kill Farrell off. He's been a plus, but it would have been interesting and may have given me reason to give a shit about the murder(s).

As it stands, I like watching it but it's not nearly as good as season one. Maybe that's too high of a bar, but I expected more. Still will watch going forward.

And whoever mentioned the pounding drums against city shots is on point. That first episode was like a goddamn Inception trailer every two minutes. Tried WAY too hard to be serious.

[PancakeBrah]

IT COULD BECOME DOPE AS HELL THOUGH.

word

[PancakeBrah]

The intro music is ass.

[Allen Knight]

yea shit is corny.

[Batty]

Alrite, I'm caught up now. So yeah, this shit is building up really slow. The shit with Velcora getting blasted has gotta be more to it. Yo, either he is really dead or some thing is going to happen later on down the line. If they don't do anything more with that whole thing, it'll be wack.

[Fart]

Show is good on it's own but it wont be comparable to s1 in any way. Kinda underwhelming so far just because Woody and McConaughey were so good

[Victor]

I stopped halfway threw episode 2. Doubt I'm coming back
