Featured review
Boring and confusing as heck
In this episode True Detective returns for a second season but honestly it only returns in name while everything else is not only different but worse as well. They took a great show, destroyed everything that made it a great show, added a bunch of nonsense garbage that you see in all terrible shows and packaged it together hoping that people won't notice but that turned out to be a terrible idea.
This episode was a confusing and boring start of a second season. First, they introduce 50-60 different people in one episode where even god himself can't keep track of who is who let alone what the story is. The whole thing is impossible to follow, impossible to even have the slightest idea about what's going on because viewers can't even tell who the heck these 50 new faces are and what they are doing.
Second, the editing is so terrible that it must have been done by a high school kid who aspires to become a video editor some day. The editing is all over the place and nothing ties together and nothing connects together. It feels like they randomly filmed a bunch of sketches and edited them together without thinking of a story to tell or a narrative at all. They just filmed bunch of random scenes and hope that something will stick.
Third, acting is really really bad. I could have acted better than 90% of the cast here. Heck, you can randomly pick 10 people from the street and 9 of them could act better than anyone who appeared in this episode.
They just took a great show and killed it in season 2 with all this nonsense and now they wonder why people don't watch TV anymore.
