People fail to realize that 95% of actresses aren't all that hot. Many are attractive and definitely fuckable, but you can go anywhere that isn't dirt poor from LA to San Diego and see women everyday much hotter. I'm not trying to be facetious, but if I saw Rachel McAdams look-a-like at a bar I wouldn't think anything of it.RaceBannon said:I think this season is far better than the first. I think Rachel McAdams is way over rated as an actress and for hotness
The reason you can't have the actresses be too hot is because they want women to like them. So actresses like McAdams, Aniston, Bullock, etc are the most famous because of this reason. They are white and pleasant looking but not too hot.

The directing and writing has been an absolute dreckfest. The base storyline I think is pretty good, in the classical Film Noir sense, better than the first seasons storyline. But there is just a lot of ancillary garbage that doesn't make sense and muddies what is actually interesting.
The shootout was LOL. If there was a shootout that killed half-a-dozen police officers, another 10 innocent citizens and protesters, and a lord knows how many drug dealing messicans it would be one of the most bloody shootouts in modern US history. It would be like Branch Davidians and Koresh. Those people would not be working a few weeks later as police officers and they would sure as shit not be enlisted in some super secret detail off the books by the state police agency.
The writing is sloppy and there is too much ancillary crap. A good story is there, but it's gone pear shaped, unfortunately. -
I can't take Vince Vaughn seriously, so it's pretty much ruined this season for me. The only role he played that was semi-serious, which was fucking awesome, was in Clay Pigeons. That movie rocked. I just don't think he's that talented of an actor. He's hilarious, but no Marlon Brando.
Rachel McAdams is not bringing much to the table in this. I thought she would be better. This role just doesn't seem right for her, similar to Vaughn.
In short, so far this season has been shit compared to Season 1.

Season 1 takes a royal shit on this season. I've tried to like it so far but I'm kidding myself trying to. I will finish it as well but it really has been a lackluster annoying season.

If anyone is still interested, here is a Tequilla-long article about the most recent episode of True Detective. It catches us up from earlier, recaps the current episode, and then goes into analysis and speculation.
There is a lot of detail in this season. While there is plenty to criticize, the mystery itself is pretty good.

This season has some tinges of the David Lynch-style noir. In the hands of a more capable director and writer it could be a really good slow-burning piece. I think they really fucked the dog by abandoning the surreal elements from the first season. There is a common theme of the higher ups in society being into some really fucked up, evil shit that they keep secret.
Originally this season was going to carry over The Yellow King stuff and the symbols so that there was a tie to the first season. In a very George R R Martin moment, the writer said "that stuff was what really drew people in to the first season so I'm gonna throw it all out to be edgy".
