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
