Season 1 is the best television kino in the last decade

One episode of Legion is already better than this whole season.

>>80338291
Agreed.

>>80338291
This and World Peace.

>>80338291

>>80338329
nope, Legion is truly shit

Close but The Young Pope is better.

Is the second season worth watching and only bad if you compare it to the first or is it just complete shit?

In this book Ligotti mentions how betrayed he feels whenever a seemingly pessimistic story ends on a high note. Seems like he would feel betrayed by True Detective.

I don't enjoy tv shows, so everybody recommended me the first season of TD because it's more of a "mini-series", not a tv show for them.

Well for me the experience was exactly like any other tv show, unenjoyable.

The primary focus is on the narrative and nothing else, the repetitive structure, countless establishing shots and shots of a car entering a location, countless "let's go to a bar for a beer" exposition dialogues, every episode has to end with a cliffhanger, every episode has one big moment where it all builds up to, countless twists and turns etc

Like any other tv show.
Most of the time you don't even have to look at the screen, the back to back camerawork in dialogues get's so overused that you can basically just listen to the conversation without even watching the screen and grasp all the information you need because the written narrative is the main thing here, while in film it's the visual narrative.

I agree. I think think the optimism of the ending was inconsistent with the pessimism and atmosphere of corruption that was built up in the preceding episodes.

Much, much better yes, I felt the same after the first episode actually, it's quite common. First few episodes are good, but then it moves onto great w/ each passing season, the last of which was incredible.

Hello fellow snek
how do you do

>>80340028
Yes, it only gets better after the first season and stays that way. Especially after the show gets past the whole thing with Philip and Elizabeth doing the "will they won't they actually love each other thing".

I have the same issue with most tv shows. I watch one episode and just barely make it through and already am tired of it by the end.

The only exception was Hannibal. And I doubt anything similar will ever be as successfully executed in the future.

I was disappointed by the finale. When it was revealed that Cohle was in a coma, I remembered the woman with Munchausen by proxy who had been killing her children by switching off their life support systems. I thought it was foreshadowing and that Cohle was about to be killed in a similar way. The upbeat ending felt at odds with the atmosphere of the first six episodes. The fact that Marty and Rust accept that they can't catch the people still committing these abuses, and are apparently content with that, felt wrong.

The ending completely sucked, it was completely out of tune with the rest of the show.

>>80338822
The storytelling is more layered in season 2 with the theme being sex instead of faith. Unfortunately only one of the four main characters has some emotional investment in the main conflict, it also doesn't fully resolve its main theme of "everything is fucking" but there's a lot to be said about its thoughts on gender roles. Annie as a character is Pizza taking a huge dump on everyone who was asking for a badass female after season 1.

>>80342884
Season 2 was a rushed mess with one dimensional characters.

>>80338291
was rust the true yellow king?

Season 1 was fedora meme shit.

>>80342884
>but there's a lot to be said about its thoughts on gender roles. Annie as a character is Pizza taking a huge dump on everyone who was asking for a badass female after season 1.
Could you elaborate on that?
I gave up after the third episode (and will probably give it another go in the future) but this seems interesting.

>>80343002
At the end of season 2, all the male main characters die for the sake of keeping the women alive. Annie, a stronk woman who does knife tricks and has casual sex for to feel empowered, is a broken victim of child rape who can't emotionally handle the pressures of being a cop out of her depth. She has sex with Ray, one of the male leads who ends up dying, and we later found out that she had his child. She is now forced into the role of a protective mother figure honoring the legacy of the man who sacrificed himself for her sake.

Why is there so little Satanic cult kino?
I fucking love it as a story device.
