Anyone keeping up with the new one? I'm lost, actually. Really loved the first one.

1. Haven't heard of it..

Are you thinking of True Detective, by any chance?

[Laffy Kat]

2. Ooops, yes. I'll edit. thx. nt

3. My husband and I watched the first two episodes before giving up.

This is supposed to be entertaining! Everyone mumbles and there's so much violence. The action is incomprehensible, for the most part.

I loved the first season a lot.

Blech.

4. Haven't seen this season

and sounds as if I do not need to.

5. Bingo! I watched ep 1 and about 15 mins of ep 2 and gave up.

Season one was mesmerizing and well crafted. This one? Not so much. Boring story, too.

[Laffy Kat]

6. So I'm not the only one who can't hear half of the dialogue?

I thought it was me. Seriously, I have to sit there remote in hand to constantly adjust the volume. It was that way with the first season, too, but at least it was worth it at that point. It's a lot of work watching this thing.

7. Someone else told me that they used the closed captioning!

That should not be necessary for a person who can hear.

It's not supposed to be work!

8. Hey, that's a good idea!

Except NOW I have to figure out how to use the CC on my telly. Geesh. I think I'll just take a nap instead of watching TD.

9. I'm with you on the nap, lol!

16. Mr. Robot (USA channel) is even worse

with its unintelligible monotone mumbling. Ruins a fascinating show.

12. I think I just saved myself some time...

I loved the first season, and wondered, but let's face it… only so much time for what passes as "dark" entertainment these days.

10. I like it -- its simmering early on.

There are a lot more characters involved in TD2 compared to TD1. Its like a Robert Altman film and you have to let the stories converge.

14. Based on how episode 2 ended, I suspect the first two episodes

is nearing the end of the storyline. And the real story will be told in backstory mode.

11. Not as good as last season, but it turned just weird enough that I'll watch 3rd episode.

[Baitball Blogger]

15. I know, right? That last scene in episode 2 made me rethink everything

I had seen up to that point.

[Hoyt]

17. Exactly. Up to that point, it was just something to have on while I

played my guitar or surfed on my phone.

18. Pretty sad when a scene like that makes you regain interest, isn't it?

We've been kicking this around in the TV Chat group; seems to be growing sentiment (from me and others) that this second season isn't evolving nearly as well as the first. Which is a damn shame, given how good the first season was......

[hibbing]

13. I watch it

I watched last season also. I was lost last season pretty much for half of it, so I expected to be lost again. I like the acting thus far and the character's lives seem all messed up. I knew Vince Vaughn would be good in a dramatic role.

19. I like Vince Vaughn in dramas. I do not like the comedies he does as they are usually quite stupid.

[Laffy Kat]

20. I am like that with the late Robin Williams.

Really enjoyed his dramatic roles. His comedy was so intense it exhausted me. And you know another comedian who was a great dramatic actor: Don Rickles.
