I didn't see any other threads about this. Tonight I stumbled across news about Season 3 that I hadn't heard: * Takes place in the Ozarks. * Here's a teaser trailer: | ||

Looks like it's set in the '70s. I'm going to guess that a black detective is going to face a lot of racism while performing his job? So...some social justice tied into the plot?

Fayetteville, Arkansas, to be specific. They've been filming around here for months. The show's writer/creator went to the University of Arkansas. | |||

I loved season 1. Season 2 didnt grab me at all and i didnt get passt the second episode. This one kinda looks more like the first season. Thats exciting. ____________________________ While you may be able to get away with bottom shelf whiskey, stay the hell away from bottom shelf tequila. - FishOn | |||

Not sure season-2 left that big of an impression...season-1 though, instead of a crater a monument was built. | |||

I agree although I do like Rachel McAdams. Season 1 was the better of the two

It won't be too hard to be better than season 2. Season 1 was great IMO. | |||

I'm willing to give it a real shot at success. For the griping about Season 2 of TD, it had some high points, like the shoot-out from hell. Plenty of weak writing and plot, but all in all, still worth watching. Season 1 was just A+ TV. | |||

I rewatched Season 2 about six months back, and I enjoyed it more this time without the awesomeness of Season 1 looming in recent memory like it was the first time. | |||

Starts Jan 13, looks like a return of the Southern Gothic genre that the 1st season was set around. Can only hope this fall in-between the 1st and 2nd season. | |||

Thanks for the heads up. Mahershala Ali won an Oscar in "Moonlight", a great non-Hollywood film. As to the social-racial-justice angle, here's what one reviewer says about that: "The season also cautiously dips a toe in addressing the fact that Wayne is a black cop investigating a case through small towns, and yet, doesn’t make that a focus. And it shouldn’t; it’s acknowledged, but allows Wayne’s story to be defined by the choices he made with the case and with his relationships over anything else." "True Detective has come back around with a true return to form." Review | |||

1. I will give this one a shot. 2. I don't think it was so much that season 2 was bad, but in comparing it to a SUPURB season 1, it was hard to not expect the same, and that bar was set very, very high.

I felt very let down by Season 2. I felt the whole story line was just wrong. It felt like the writers wrote themselves into a corner somehow and just killed everyone off to end it. I will most likely end up watching this eventually. But I'll wait until the entire season has been released on iTunes/AppleTV. | |||

I guess I'm odd man out as I enjoyed season two. Yeah yeah not as good as season one but still worthwhile in my view and better than 90% of the crap put on TV these days. They could have done better with the casting for sure. I'll be tuning in for S3. Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks.

I think I hated season 2 more just because it was another flipping cop show set in Los Angeles and commiefornia. The first season was something different, hopefully this will be as well.

This sounds like a good strategy. I too was blown away by season 1 & saddened after watching the first few episodes of season 2. I am looking forward to this 3rd season.... | |||

Hate to just say “me too”, but I was majorly disappointed in Season 2 - didn’t even finish it. As noted, the Season 2 actors had their work cut out for them trying to follow up Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. In fact, I think True Detective is one of McConaughey’s best efforts. _____________________________________________________________________ “One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.” – Thomas Sowell | |||
