I binge watched season 1, I can't imagine having to wait in between weeks to get to the next episode. That would have been brutal. We'll see about season 2, body is ready

I think you lose some of the experience by binge watching shows, especially TD. Half the njoymwnt of the ahow, for me at least, was that week in between. Readingabout the last ep, talking about theories with friends/coworkers, etc.

Well it wasn't really by choice, I missed out on TD the first time around so I just happened to check it out on HBO In Demand one night, couldn't stop watching. I finished the entire season in two nights (literally took zero breaks in between each episode). Went straight home the next day from work and didn't leave my bedroom until I finished off the last episode

This will definitely not be better than the first. I'm pretty sure I will hate but, but I will watch. But I gurantee I will be grimacing the whole time.

Rust Cohle the God>>>>
 
As good as the first season was, i thought it fell off once they reached present day. I think around ep 5. Ill be open minded.
 
I just hope everybody on that S1 was the best nothing will be better than it "giving this season a chance" will dip after they feel it won't be up to par to S1.

I can see ppl complaining and keep referencing S1 to be even more annoying than all of the bogus ridiculous theories from S1.
 
The backwoods occult aspect of the first season is what drew a lot of people in and a ton of those same people are going to be disappointed when this one doesn't have all of the semi-supernatural undertones.

No it doesn't. The reason there's season warfare, is that they switching up everything. It'll dann near be a new show.

And I don't understand why people keep hating on the theories fans came up with about the show. That's a huge part of what made season 1 so fun. With all the Easter eggs they put into the show, a lot of the theories were plausible. Was I bit disappointed the ending was pretty cut and dry? Yes. But season 1 was both an awesome show and experience because of all that happened after the episode was over.

Then those ppl need to accept that and move on or stay but stop complaining. Yall knew it'd be a new everything before S1 was even over.

Cuz they were all ******* garbage nonsense that literally littered the entire thread with tangent **** that in the end did not matter.

That **** made S1 fun to YOU and yall. Of course that **** seemed plausible to yall if you bought in to it. Show never went off the deep end in hinting it was something else. It was cut and dry. Rust Cohle was just out there kind of dude and the main murderer was a sick **** in to sick ****.

The season was greatness to me without all that. Simply off directing, acting, the dialogue and overall story.
 
Yea ppl gotta let season 1 go ...this show gon be different every season so might as well get used to it
 
HBO hasn't confirmed it officially but everyone is saying summer. If not then fall.
 
Vulture did a nice roundup of what is up with Season 2:









***Mild Spoliers Ahead***








Here’s Where We Stand on True Detective Season 2
By Nate Jones

The second season of True Detective is currently shooting, which means that the next installment of the series is well on its journey from meme to actual thing. It's been a few months since the last time we checked in with Nic Pizzolatto's dark dream, so here's what we know now about its cast, production, and plot. (There will be mild spoilers, so don't read this post if you want to go in as blind and pure as a newborn.)

[COLOR=#red]THE CAST[/COLOR]

What we already knew: Colin Farrell and Vince Vaughn will star, with Farrell as "compromised detective" Ray Velcoro and Vaughn as Frank Semyon, "a career criminal in danger of losing his empire."

What we know now: Rounding out our quartet of leads are two more Hollywood reclamation projects, Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch. McAdams is Ani Bezzerides, a "no-nonsense" sheriff, while Kitsch is Paul Woodrugh, a veteran turned highway patrolman embroiled in a sex scandal. Their issues will be gambling addiction and PTSD, respectively.

We've also learned all about the supporting cast, which is full of character actors you know from other cable shows (James Frain, Michael Irby, C.S. Lee), as well as a bunch of beautiful women who get the kinds of female roles we've come to expect from True Detective. Here's a sampling: Lolita Davidovich is Kitsch's ex-showgirl mom; Ashley Hinshaw is a "troubled starlet"; Adria Arjona* is Kitsch's "girlish but practical" girlfriend; Leven Rambin is "a beauty with a history of drug problems"; Kelly Reilly is the wife who's complicit in Vaughn's misdeeds; and Abigail Spencer is Farrell's ex, who happens to be "the survivor of a sexual attack." There will also be a part for Rick Springfield, so we know at least one character on this show will be cool with the lines.

[COLOR=#red]THE CREW[/COLOR]

What we already knew: Just like he did with season one, Nic Pizzolatto is writing the entire eight-episode season himself. Cary Fukunaga is stepping out of the director's chair (though he will stay on as producer), and with him goes the idea of having one director handle every episode. Justin Lin will step into his shoes for the first two episodes, and William Friedkin and Andrew Dominik have been suggested as other possible choices.

What we know now: Friedkin and Dominik are still in the "rumored" category, but Denmark's Janus Metz Pedersen has been announced as the director of episode three. He's best known for Armadillo, a 2010 documentary about Danish troops in Iraq.

[COLOR=#red]THE SETTING[/COLOR]

What we already knew: Just as the bayous and oil fields of Louisiana formed an indelible part of True Detective's first season, season two will explore the 400 miles of California between Los Angeles and San Francisco — in Pizzolatto's words, "the places that don't get much press and where you wouldn't normally set a television show." McAdams's character will hail from Monterey — a mecca of detective fiction — but much of the action will take place in "a fictional California town." As in season one, the show will be shot on location to capture what Pizzolatto calls the "psychosphere ambiance of the place."

What we know now: The stars have been spotted on set in downtown Los Angeles, and according to Vaughn, the City of Angels is playing itself.

[COLOR=#red]THE PLOT AND THEMES[/COLOR]

What we already knew: Pizzolatto teased the second season by saying it would focus on "hard women, bad men, and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system," and nothing else we've heard about True Detective has jazzed us as much as that sentence has. A few months later, we got this plot synopsis, which shows an obvious Chinatown influence:

The second season of True Detective will follow the death of Ben Caspar, the corrupt City Manager of a fictional California city who’s found brutally murdered amidst a potentially groundbreaking transportation deal that would forever change the freeway gridlock in California. Three law enforcement officers from different cities and branches of the government are tasked with finding out who did it. They soon discover their investigation has much broader and darker implications than they initially thought. Caspar’s 52-year-old corpse is found on a lonely stretch of the PCH near Big Sur — his eye burned out, genitals cut off and satanic symbols etched on his chest. It turns out he had a penchant for rough sex and may have been involved in the Occult.
Per other reports, this "groundbreaking transportation deal" will be a high-speed railway line linking SoCal and NorCal. As True Detective fandom overlaps significantly with train geekery, this is big news for a certain segment of the internet. There will be think pieces about the viability of high-speed railways! Recaps written on the Amtrak Writers' Residency! This map, again! It's going to be great.

What we know now: The set photos reveal there will be at least one serious shoot-out involving bulletproof vests and an L.A. bus. (The secret occult history of Los Angeles's bus system is unknown, but it probably has something to do with Speed.)

[COLOR=#red]THE PREMIERE DATE[/COLOR]

What we already knew: "Summer 2015" was the only word.

What we know now: Filming started November 17 and is apparently ongoing, so late summer or early fall seems to be a safer bet. "Technically, summer lasts until September 20," we can imagine Pizzolatto saying.

[COLOR=#red]THE FACIAL HAIR[/COLOR]

What we already knew: Nothing, although we should have expected Pizzolatto would try to raise the bar from this.

What we know now: According to images from a fan Twitter account, Colin Farrell has grown one serious mustache. We couldn't be more pleased.
