Paul would've murked all Them in the woods...he was a real one

Man I can't think of another show that had me in my feelings more than this finale ...maybe the Sansa rape scene from GOT that's about it

Enjoyed the finale. The way holloway told Ray, the boy was not casperes but the girl was with another on the way. I bet the kid didn't know about caspere being his sisters father and that made him flip.

Give the season a B overall.
 
After watching the entire season I feel I can rate it. 6.5/10

Pizzolatto should go follow the less is more when writing future seasons, assuming HBO green lights one. Felt like he wrote this story as if he had more than 8 episodes to air. Way too much crammed in the first half of S2. I should not have to read recaps with pictures of characters mentioned in an episode to remember who and what their roles are in the show but I had to constantly do that.

Positives:

Colin Farrell, no explanation needed.

Rachel McAdams, I did not hate her as much as others did in early episodes. I fault the writing for making her conversations cringe worthy at times, but her performance got better with each episode.

Any Vince Vaughn scene without his wife were intriguing and Vaughn's character picked up momentum towards the finale.

Kitsch was not as bad as he could have been.


Negatives:

Convoluted story. The dialogue was average at best.

This season missed Fukanaga's directing.
 
 They had something going with her self realization earlier in the episode and then it delineated into her just sitting around waiting for phone calls. It took all the power away from her character.
 
I think it worked the opposite of what you do, and that it worked well.

To me, it showed her being vulnerable and able to care for someone emotionally. It showed that she was concerned and could Love

That scene with Vaughn and his wife at the station :rofl:

Maybe even Pizzolatto knows his writing is killing the actors.

Can't believe some of y'all are in your feels as much as you are over this episode....Much more emotional stuff has happened in other HBO shows...
 
Like Stillin and some others have said, this needed to be a 12 episode season, not 8. They introduced way too many characters without giving you enough info on them....

Also, I feel like Taylor Kitsch's character was useless, to be honest...
 
like when omar and brother mouzone did stringer?
Stringer was a snake.

Son deserved to die.

Ray's death hit hard, man.

Yeah, he didn't get to send that final message but him seeing his boy one last time carrying that keepsake around with him PROUDLY meant the world to him.

Season finale was underwhelming. This shoulda been called something else, because the comparisons to season 1 were unavoidable.

Season 1 is like an 9/10
Season 2 is like a 6/10

At least power stepped it up a notch. Game of thrones is so far away smh
 
God damn it, how could two smart dudes like Ray and Frank be so stupid and careless.

:smh: :smh:

And I just couldn't take it seriously thar Ray just happened to remember that the orphan girl talked to a random dude on the set. How convenient...

Did not enjoy that finale. They made the killer just a random *** dude. Not everything is perfect in an imperfect world yes, I'm aware. It just felt like everything was rushed all the while they opened way too many subplots throughout the season and tried to tie them together, in a bad way. I enjoyed some parts of the season but the finale wasn't my cup of tea.
 
Dam man Frank went out like Carlito.. Won against his foes but a bad business deal came back to haunt him. First show I watched in a min that the main characters all got bodied except for one. Good season overall I really didn't see them winning with the odds against them like that..

Dude cornered himself behind that tree. He coulda took out dude on the left and had a chance against the Luitenant and other guy but I think after he saw that his message aint send, he just stopped thinking and caring and just went all out

I think he got lucky killing the 2 guys those others wouldn't have let him get them like the others. He shoulda blind shot on some GTA ish atleast they would have been wounded enough for him to dip.
 
Going to see his kid though? Granted I'm not a parent, so please excuse my ignorance.. but he already said bye to the damn kid. Made peace with the situation, then after killing 10 guys and needing to get the hell out of dodge.. he goes to the damn kids school to get a Sergeant Slaughter salute? Cmon man. It was just dumb to me, obviously they gotta have a reason to off him and set up the end but that was just lazy.

They just kept bringing in new characters every episode and expected us to know who everyone was. The more I think about it the more I thought this season was so rushed due to the success of the first season, Pizzolato should of just taken his time to make this a better story than what came across. I will say Vaughn definitely killed tonights episode, it was just too little too late. When his wife told him he's a ****** actor, I laughed to myself because he's been so bad this season. This is one finale that could of been wrapped up in less time than was actually givin', but I guess they needed it to tie up the 20 things they tried to cover.

I personally really liked this season. It was different, but the same.

S1 was layered with dirt. The masked church guys, politicians, police, all layered throughout the state.

Same here. Mayor, chief, detectives, criminals, CEO's, pimps, all in bed together. 3 cops, tied together unraveled all that, and 2 of them paid for it with their lives. :frown:

But they took down major players, even tho just spokes in a bigger wheel. It was a war, no one knew was taking place.

Imagine tryin to tell that story, going back to 1992, and how everything connected up the state. Diamonds, cops, riots, girls, dirty corporations, politicians, bankers, the land, railways, missing persons, kill cabins, doctors. Just layers and layers. Just like Carcosa, but different. :nerd:

Colin was greatness. Rachel was really really good. Taylor was quietly understated. Vince was hit and miss.

Extremely intriguing story, much of it "true" to a degree, although loosely based I'm assuming, well told, edge of your seat the whole ride.

I look forward to a season 3.
 
Season was solid. I feel like the season should probably be 10 episodes to flesh out the story a little more.

Looking forward to next season.
 
You guys think we see a season 3?

I think it only happens if Pizzaman agrees creative and writing help.

No way HBO trust dude to call the shots all by himself for another season
