Season 1- Some of the best TV ever

Season 2- horrible

Season 3- we'll see. It shows promise. Mr. Pizzolato is at his best when he has country bumpkins to look down upon.

Ain't that right, Nick? Unlike you, I'm not ashamed of the place where I grew up, you worm.

A bit late, but we are now starting Season 3 since we just subscribed to HBO for a month. Digging for something good to watch, I almost forgot we never saw Season 3. I think we made it halfway into one episode. Now to finish it! I heard Season 3 was good.

In my opinion, Season 3 was better than Season 2, but not as good as Season 1.

As mentioned earlier, it was set and shot in Northwest Arkansas. It was definitely cool watching this season and picking out all the locations that I recognized. They changed the names of most of the buildings and some of the small towns, and even tweaked the exterior appearance (either digitally or with practical effects) of some of the buildings for the exterior shots, but for folks who live around here much of it is still readily recognizable.

What's especially interesting is that a lot of the older buildings they used are sandwiched between newer buildings, due to the large amount of growth that the area has experienced in the last couple decades. So in a number of scenes they digitally removed the newer buildings, leaving just the older ones. It can take a minute to figure out where exactly that building is, because you're so used to seeing it with different stuff around it, or with newer signage than what was shown in the series.

Same for me. Like Season 1 A+, Season 2 B- or C+, and Season 3 A-. Season 2 WAS a large drop off but was somewhat entertaining.

Season 2 had the misfortune of following s.1, which was one of the finest pieces of television ever made. That said, it was still horrible, disjointed, not very compelling and poorly developed story; the music and camera work was better than the acting and dialogue, it rates no higher than a D. Pizzolato mailed s.2 in.
