I feel the same way you do I didnt like the first 2-3 episodes then i got into the story and the charecters grew on me i wanted to see frank make it and i didnt want to see blondie get shot in the back either.
It feels bad when a series grabs your attention and then goes no where. So many sub plots, so many character. I even couldn't relate who was who without the main characters.
I agree totally. I waited until last week to actually watch season 2. I've watched 1,3 , and 4. Loved 1 and 3 and liked 4. It's impossible to top season one, and I went in making sure I didn't try to correlate the two seasons in any way. I liked season 2 alot
Think this one is a bit underrated. Collin Farel was pretty briliant as for as I am concerned, and vince vaughn was a revelation. i really cared about the main characters dying, that at itself already means it was authententic. Farel with his son, Vaughn with his wife, that where the most interesting story's actually. The main story was nothing much, and offcourse the first seison was in another league. But overal this was better then most things out there anno 2020-21.
This makes me wonder how the upcoming season 4 will fare. These days, i try and not get my hopes up about any show nor any new seasons of my favorite shows - hopefully it will have the same feel as season 1
Season 1 was unbelievably good but I'm in the minority of those who liked Season 2 more. It's just my unsophisticated opinion and identification with Ray. I've heard Season 3 is really good.
Everyone actor in this series are phenomemal. The one actor that blew me away is Vince Vaughn. This role is by far the best in his career. The 2nd season is as raw as you can get. Greed is shown to utmost disgusting level.
The underlying story is the weakest aspect of the show. The engaging stuff is watching how the interesting characters interact and relate to each-other in private: For example: When Velcoro (Farrell) and Bezzerides (McAdams) are alone, and when Velcoro and Semyon (Vaughn) are alone. These scenes are more poignant than anything else, even the action. The camera is right in their faces and we have an actual moment to connect to the characters and see what they're thinking and feeling. The camera doesn't have to jump around to a bunch of other useless people. The themes of past trauma's is interesting, as a motivation, but typical for a police drama; What's more interesting is to see how the characters sort of instinctually recognize who "get's them" and who doesn't, who's honorable and who isn't. You start to sympathize with them, when they make an effort to show sensitivity and care towards the other person, and it makes you root for them and hope for them to succeed. This is what the series should be about, in totality: watching adults learn how to trust someone again and love someone again. It shouldn't just be a sub-plot.
Mate love your reviews! You deserve more subs. Have a watch of peaky blinders, there is the fourth season coming out soon aswell. Love to see your reviews of seasons 1-3
Won’t lie. This season is actually my favorite. I love the ending, the music worked so well and I loved the action too. I do think season 1 is more well done. But I like season two more for some reason.
Very fair review. You were able to make many of the same criticisms as other RUclipsrs without sounding like a spoiled brat. You also judged the show on its merits rather than having to constantly compare it to the first.
It's clear that Season 1 is the one to beat, but it's a bit shocking to see you give it 7/10 while giving 10/10 to something like Hannibal Season 2, which is good, but a lot more standard and conventional than True Detective (whether it's season 1 or 2).
the worst follow up season to one of the best first seasons of any show ever. shockingly bad writing and vince’s acting is actually embarrassing to watch. don’t waste your time if you haven’t started.
I honestly don''t understand why people s*** on the 2nd season. Ima it was the best season, and I know I'm pretty much alone in this opinion. The actors were fenomenal, it was extremely well filmed, the story was deep, tha pacing was perfect, it was engagin ,the soundtrack was exceptional, and the ending was perfect. I seriously can't find flaws in it.
I disagree. It was worse than season 1 but still a successful above average season. Comparing a good season to a great season doesn't make the good season any less good.
I own all 3 seasons,season 2 is the only season I watched 3 times,I know this season have lots of characters and lots of information.I finally understand all the ins and outs.Why I like this season the most?because I live in LA county,this season is the most related.Thumb up if you feel the same.
Vince Vaughn is a suck actor, I couldn't get through season 2 and I really tried. Season 3 was pretty good, not as good as seasone one, but atleast it was watchable.
Wasted 5 years and didn't watch this season because the people's views interfered. I tried watching it nevertheless but as someone said.. First 2 episodes had me wondering if people were right. But this last week I restarted and oh it was so good. The final two episodes imo were more enjoyable than s1 episodes. I don't remember gunning for characters the way I did for the ones who died. Vince Vaughan was a major turn off when I watched the first couple of episodes 2-3 times. BUT this time I felt he was fantastic, proof of which is episode 7. The season was so complicated and enjoyable. Overall it is very enjoyable. If S1 was a 9.5 this one was a solid 8.5. Episodes 7 and 8 elevated the season to this rating imo. This season simply was nowhere near the pathetic reviews by people.
Yeah honestly Season 2 is underrated. The only flaw with this season is that it’s convoluted at times. Rewinding a few scenes and rewatching them took care of that problem for me. It’s a completely different show from Season 1, but that’s what True Detective was intended to be. Each season it’s a new plot, new characters, new setting, new mystery, etc. Season 2 is a great season, just not as great as Season 1. Season 1: 9.5/10 Season 2: 8.0/10 Season 3: I’m about to start it!
Season 3 was very underwhelming tbh. They tried to get it closer to s1 and as far away as possible from s2. And the result is sub par I felt. Do let me know what you think of it!
@@nishadgoliwadekar7887 I just finished watching season 3 today and overall, I thought it was pretty good! I did feel like the ending was a bit underwhelming, but the rest of the season was great. Great cast as always with True Detective and a story that sucks you in like every other season. I would give this season a 8.5/10
Just rewatched season 2 and I have to admit that when I first watched it I agreed with most negative/mixed reviews I saw at the time. However, upon rewatching it I honestly think it's a truly incredible series. I can't compare it to season 1 because they are completely different shows unlike Season 3 which feels a lot like Season 1. I saw Vince Vaughn get a lot of hate when it first aired but I think he was one of the best characters. I enjoyed the majority of the performances and everyone was convincing in their roles. The ending was perfect imo. I wish everyone who hated on it at first would rewatch it again because I've completely changed every thought I originally had on the season.
I think Vince Vaughn got a lot of hate because people couldn't get past the fact that they've only seen him in comedies previously, but I think he did an exceptional job in this role. The fact that he did such a good job despite previously only have worked on comedies should be viewed as a positive, but people will be people. Just out of curiosity, what were the negative reviews that you agreed with? I'm genuinely interested, I'm not asking as a rhetorical question.
Since the good guys won and survived in season 1 I expected Ray and Frank to survive in this season. It really fucked me up when Ray and Frank instead got shot to pieces and stabbed in the desert. Of course both of them were ultimately killed by their own weakness. Ray could've accepted he wouldn't see his son again and gone off to start his new life, and Frank could've just given the mexican the suit and walked away. Still, I wanted the good guys to win.
I rewatched this season recently. I initially came to season 2 expecting what I had already experienced from season 1, big mistake! I have rewatched season 2 twice these past two weeks and my goodness.. it is writing GOLD! This season is far more engaging for critical thinking and has a foundation of human behavior & psychology. It is definitely a season built for true storytellers/enjoyers. Beware all CASUAL TV watchers!!
The story when Vince Vaughn talks about the water spots on his ceiling.. and how that is symbolism for his character throughout the rest of the season...
@@rickstrokesOG I seem to watch it annually. I loved season 1 but don't feel the need to watch it again.... as of now. I do have a difficult time watching episode 8 as the ending stresses me out lol. But I just love the feel and vibe of this series. The musical score I think was great too helping to give the show a certain feel.
@@Redhotlugnutyeah the final episode was so intense and comeuppance-y but I gotta say I LOVE s2... The acting, the suspense the fact that it was actually detective work. I think a lot of the reception suffered from the weight of expectation and the fact Nic Pazzelorro ran with rumours that S2 was about the occult association with the LA rail system
I finally finished it. It’s good other than being slow in the middle. People need to realize it’s all about parenthood. When you watch it under that lens it’s much deeper and better.
the theme song was awesome. but it felt like it has nothing to do with the season .. it felt like it was made for season 1 ... and yeah it's no where near season 1 awesomeness .. also the total depressive ending felt pushed on purpose ..
I have just watched it for the 3rd time as in every few years. It draws me back. The characters are so compelling and the acting so strong. I will admit that there is too much subplot packed into a single season. I'm more of a film fan as I like how concise a director must be in a couple of hours long format. But at the core of the writing is very treasure laden story and I can see how it would be hard to start pulling stuff out. There is enough story there for 3 seasons. Yet that is the discipline. The lead acting is stellar and look at the lineup. Colin Farrell , Vince Vaughn and Rachel McAdams. All three are all in and amazing. Taylor Kitsch good too but maybe an unnecessary lead character in the big picture. For me, the character of Frank is the thing that I cant get out of my mind and find my self pulling for him. He got a bad start in life, became a gangster and then tried with all his mite to get out. Growing up in a world of sharks he still had his honor and compassion. His better half played by Kelly Reilly is perfect as the woman who recognized Frank as a good man at his core. Maybe this is the conundrum of this season 2. Frank "steals" the show. Vince Vaughn totally chews up every scene and delivers one of his greatest performances. Even his often blank facial mannerisms tell so much about Frank and how complicated he is. I loved the "bar of broken dreams", Franks office where they all seem to meet and the haunting stage performer. Franks demise in the desert at the end being haunted by all his naysayers...Powerful! Would love to see a revised cut if possible someday but it may be hard to walk back so much sub plot.
I liked this Review - great Production value and a balanced informative review. However I think it deserves better than a 7 out of 10 stars. To me S2 was a Major Masterpiece! Tremendous Acting, Superb Scrips, film-like cinematography, great charac development, great ending plus score and soundtrack were the tops.
I can't compare s1 to s2, because they both have a different vibe. On in all it is a great show to watch. Nevertheless s2 was action packed and the performances were beautiful. Loved it. Thank you for your review.
Upon first viewing I thought it was very style over substance. I've just finished binge watching through my second viewing and have completely changed my mind...loved it! Season 1 set the bar so high that the 'difficult second album' was never going to live up to expectations and I think that if this season was released before season 1 that it would of been better received. Going to re-watch season 3 this weekend as again, I feel it will benefit from a second viewing. Hope season 4 delivers, the trailer doesn't seem too promising.
Season 1 is the best but Season 2 is highly underrated. The ending was heartbreaking. Season 3 was my biggest disappointment..the acting was 2nd to none but the plot was predictable.
Season 2 sucked so bad the first episode you get a clear understanding of how bad what is especially with the characters not to mention the writing looked excruciatingly off. The story and backgrounds of these characters didn't make any sense until we get through the middle of the season that's when we find out their stories it just doesn't make sense. Season 1 and season 3 or better and their stories were clear maybe there this is a good reason season 2 came out cuz at least season 3 they got it right by explaining the background story a little better of where our character is
I liked the script. I thought the script was by far the most engaging thing I’ve listened to. I’ve never heard people talk like this. It’s a trend in all seasons but this one in particular kept me captivated by what would, no, not only what would they say, but how would they say it. Hands down some of the most quotable lines in film I’ve ever experienced. With that said, I be there would be a lot of takes to get those well-written tight lines said. They might have even laughed at how tongue-twisting they were. Don’t know, but this TD viewer loved this season. I liked its being totally different than what people were expecting, which is what they get with S3. I’m going to watch S2 again to listen, and ‘write’ down more of the lines I thought I could recall but can’t. What an amazing writer Nic is, wow.
Exactly, I mean, the story was the most interesting of the 3 seasons, both 1 and 3 were relatively simplistic stories (season 1 was slightly overrated because mcconaughey was too overrated around those years). Season 2 has definitely the most epic ending at least.
I didn't think S2 was bad. It had some good material. But I didn't find it as engaging as the first season. I also found the conspiracy surrounding the central mystery convoluted.
The ending sucked and it dragged a lot. Also i think Frank should have lived and Velcoro's death was rather stupid he should have died in the shootout in episode 4. The story felt like a lot was chopped out of it due to the 8 episode run time and you can tell from the 90 minute run time of the finale that it had more too it that they left on the cutting room floor. A little more prologue about what happened to Ani, Jordan and Nails would have been nice that walking off into the crowd in Venezuela final shot was very hollow.
you're blind. season 2 was dog shit garbage, acting, story... its trash. they should delete it. you probably like CW shows like the flash and shit like that. bad taste lady....
This particular season is not to be watch just for entertainment. You have to immerse in the story and understand the dialogue We enjoy the characters and plot. I figured the 4 main characters wouldn’t survive and correctly guessed only detective Ani would make it to Venezuela and meet Jordan. I was confused when Ani was telling the reported in Venezuela she did it for Velcro’s SONS .... a little bit later I understood. Greta show. About to start watching season 3 with high expectations.
I also just recently rewatched season 2. I was 24 when I first saw it, and like many I was super excited before it began, then left confused and disappointed after. Back then I didn't know what things like liquidation and holdings were, so the plot was quite difficult for me to follow... now being 30 I was able to follow the story alot better and I really enjoyed how foreboding the whole thing felt. I also thought the "unhappy" ending really worked well for the series, especially considering how crooked things can be in reality. It's a really good season with great performing.
This season blew me away. I really don't understand the negative reviews.
I feel the same way you do I didnt like the first 2-3 episodes then i got into the story and the charecters grew on me i wanted to see frank make it and i didnt want to see blondie get shot in the back either.
It feels bad when a series grabs your attention and then goes no where.
So many sub plots, so many character. I even couldn't relate who was who without the main characters.
Watched for the first time... This show gave me a whole new respect for Vince Vaughn
If this show wouldn't have been called True Detective it would have been lauded

Season 2 was just as strong as the other two. Just different and tragic.

Thank you! Deciding what to watch next at the moment as I await Stranger Things S2 and The Punisher :)

@@Raggy2k12 Just finished it the day before yesterday. I think you'll enjoy it a lot. Def do a review if you can.
I loved season 2, most definitely wasn’t better than the first season but still fully enjoyed it. Started season 3 earlier today

Fernando Carrillo Finck what?
Hannibal season 2 is way, way better than TD season 2 lol.
That's fuckin wierd. I just started my season two re-watch this evening. Then Raggy uploads his season two video. Strange.
the worst follow up season to one of the best first seasons of any show ever. shockingly bad writing and vince’s acting is actually embarrassing to watch. don’t waste your time if you haven’t started.

I still want a better ending
Season 2 feels like a melodrama after Season 1. I knew what was going to happen and when it was going to happen.
Damn, You could have at least labeled this as a spoiler review.
I loved season 2 better than the first and I loved the first.
i really like these season! its just different , i love it

Yes exactly. It did manage to pull me in as a viewer. And mahershala ali does an excellent job. As do several other actors.

it's not s01. but it is really, really good. not enough cosmic horror but plenty of the dark side of the human psyche in abundance.
I don't like shows with so many sub plots that I can't figure out.
Season 1 was amazing
Season 1 🎯👍

Tremendous Acting, Superb Scrips, film-like cinematography, great charac development, great ending plus score and soundtrack were the tops.
A lot of sub plots were left unresolved which really upset me. But the characters weren't that bad.
It was good...but too many character names to remember who they were.
Raggy, what's going on my brotha! I hope all is well with you...Peace!
Absolute beast of a season may be my fav
was it bast on a old god like season 1 hastur the king in yellow?
Appreciate the video however I would say season 2 was a masterpiece.
I can't compare s1 to s2, because they both have a different vibe. On in all it is a great show to watch. Nevertheless s2 was action packed and the performances were beautiful. Loved it. Thank you for your review.

Season 1 and season 3 or better and their stories were clear maybe there this is a good reason season 2 came out cuz at least season 3 they got it right by explaining the background story a little better of where our character is
Vince Vaughn and Kelly Reilly are really good actors but they seemed to be on a different tv show as they where over the top and silly here.
Vince Vaughn was awesome in this show. Just finished it and damn. Wished Frank and ray would have lived.
My only diappointment is that 3 of them died.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I liked the season. Gritty, noiry, dirty.
Just finished watching the season. Had me hooked since episode 4. 💛
I liked the script. I thought the script was by far the most engaging thing I’ve listened to. I’ve never heard people talk like this. It’s a trend in all seasons but this one in particular kept me captivated by what would, no, not only what would they say, but how would they say it. Hands down some of the most quotable lines in film I’ve ever experienced. With that said, I be there would be a lot of takes to get those well-written tight lines said. They might have even laughed at how tongue-twisting they were. Don’t know, but this TD viewer loved this season. I liked its being totally different than what people were expecting, which is what they get with S3. I’m going to watch S2 again to listen, and ‘write’ down more of the lines I thought I could recall but can’t. What an amazing writer Nic is, wow.
season 2 was amazing. You just need more brains to appreciate it than season 1
ТурбоТОП hardly.
Disagree..
Exactly, I mean, the story was the most interesting of the 3 seasons, both 1 and 3 were relatively simplistic stories (season 1 was slightly overrated because mcconaughey was too overrated around those years).
Season 2 has definitely the most epic ending at least.
Just because you have to think about it a lot doesn’t make it better than the simpler season 1.
It’s too much to digest in 8 episodes
Me gustó el final, pero a a la vez no
So what did you guys think of True Detective S2?
I didn't think S2 was bad. It had some good material. But I didn't find it as engaging as the first season. I also found the conspiracy surrounding the central mystery convoluted.
S1 9 of 10,s2 7 of 10,s3 8 of 10
S1 > s2. Final episode s2> final episode s1
Turd Salad
Vince Vaughn is a terrible actor, add a puke smoothie to that turd salad.
The ending sucked and it dragged a lot. Also i think Frank should have lived and Velcoro's death was rather stupid he should have died in the shootout in episode 4. The story felt like a lot was chopped out of it due to the 8 episode run time and you can tell from the 90 minute run time of the finale that it had more too it that they left on the cutting room floor. A little more prologue about what happened to Ani, Jordan and Nails would have been nice that walking off into the crowd in Venezuela final shot was very hollow.
I loved season 2 even more than 1....it was hard to say which actor i enjoyed most
you're blind. season 2 was dog shit garbage, acting, story... its trash. they should delete it. you probably like CW shows like the flash and shit like that. bad taste lady....
😂😂 stop trolling dude
quality troll
This particular season is not to be watch just for entertainment. You have to immerse in the story and understand the dialogue We enjoy the characters and plot. I figured the 4 main characters wouldn’t survive and correctly guessed only detective Ani would make it to Venezuela and meet Jordan. I was confused when Ani was telling the reported in Venezuela she did it for Velcro’s SONS .... a little bit later I understood. Greta show. About to start watching season 3 with high expectations.
I also just recently rewatched season 2. I was 24 when I first saw it, and like many I was super excited before it began, then left confused and disappointed after. Back then I didn't know what things like liquidation and holdings were, so the plot was quite difficult for me to follow... now being 30 I was able to follow the story alot better and I really enjoyed how foreboding the whole thing felt. I also thought the "unhappy" ending really worked well for the series, especially considering how crooked things can be in reality. It's a really good season with great performing.
