Justin Lin to direct True Detective Season 2. Your thoughts?

Post by SDC »

if you saw Scorpion, are you worried or relieved that Lin will direct TD? #fastandfurious #carchases #actiondirector

will season 2 be more of a mystery series or a French Connection type action show?

Very meh thus far. Although the end of this weeks episode did pique up interest a bit.

I wonder if the cult in this will be linked up with the one in Louisiana from season 1. That might set up a crossover for season 3 . . . ah, maybe I'm watching too many Marvel movies. :lol:

I've watched the first episode. Not bad but not gripping so far. Colin Farrell is good but Vince Vaughn seems to be in over his head.

Interesting way to recover from the events at the end of episode 2.

Getting a little more interesting every week.

So did anyone finish? Is it worth watching? So far everyone I asked as said not.

Well, it's only 8.5 hours, but it feels like 20, so... yeah.

I watched the first episode and immediately bailed because it was so bad. After hearing how the season seems to have turned out, I do not regret this decision.

Thank God I didn't start it then. Season 1 was soo good. It sounds like this Justin Lin really fucked with a good thing by maybe trying to get overly "out there" and unnecessarily disjoined with random side stories and flashbacks. Is this a fair description?
