Bobby Skidmarks Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 The first series was as much a slow burner as this one. It started to kick off around episode 4 and then it got really good. I think this will be the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 That opening scene was like something out of Twin Peaks. Incredibly well done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I've not watched the whole episode yet as i fell asleep watching, but that scene at the mayors house was laughable. Whats with all the overhead shots of the roads aswell, were ok at first but getting a bit repetitive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) That opening scene was like something out of Twin Peaks. Incredibly well done. I was thinking last week that this season was quite Lynchian with the overhead freeway shots and foreboding music. But yeah that was a much more direct homage.

And some of the set plays - like the female cop busting the house and finding her sister working there - just make you say "f**k OFFFF" -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Some of Vaughn's dialogue has been genuinely cringeworthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Think Vaughn's been pretty good only character I don;t like so far is the stroppy looking young cop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 https://youtu.be/Lgo9VXY8PCc Nice tune this, used on the last episode. Thought it was Bonnie Prince Billy when i heard it, then they did actually play a BPB song over the end credits! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 It's not just the cringey stuff either, some of the dialouge is just "off". The bar scene between Vaughan and Farrell last episode just really didn't ring true. They used the word "stridency" which no gangland boss or corrupt cop would ever use, used it twice. Also "apoplectic". I was just sitting there thinking "you wouldn't use those words in reality would you?" Also i reckon they do some pretty major corpsing on set, they always seem to have these looks on their faces like they've been laughing for ages and are now trying to be serious, the bar scene above had a strong sense of it. Pretty off-putting. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 It's not regular though. If they used it all the time, I could get it. The corpsing thing. You're fucking desperate to find flaws. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee4Life1893 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Can you say most of the things that happened in the 1st season we're realistic? Some of Cohle's speech was WAY beyond what a "real" person would say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 2 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Got about ten minutes into the second episode and turned it off. Extremely dull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christ, i'm not talking just talking about flowery verbiage in film/tv vs real life language, or we could talk about a million scenes. Season 1 has nothing to do with it, the language fit the character, it didn't in that bar scene. IMO! IMO!
