David Kelly 404 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I blasted through episodes 4 to 7 at the weekend and it picked up markedly from the first three episodes which were a bit ropey. Didn't have time to watch the finale last night but might give it a blast tonight. Kelly Reilly is fittttttt. Watching a few episodes together will have probably helped your enjoyment of it. There's was too much that was so insignificant seeming at the time that you'd forgot about it when it was brought up again weeks later. I enjoyed it overall. Wasn't as good as the first season but I didn't expect it to be. Harrelson and McConaughey were so good together I never thought they'd be able to recapture that with someone else.

Jill 0 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Just finishing up True Detective now. I've found it a disappointing series tbh, I didn't really like any of the characters or the storyline. Massive let down after S1 but that was always likely to be the case since I enjoyed that one a lot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gemmill 2,752 Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 I thought it was good. I think as DK alluded to earlier, anything like this suffers if you watch it in a weekly episodic format. It's why the Netflix model is perfect - they stick something like House of Cards up and you can get through 12 episodes in a couple of weeks and it doesn't matter if the thing moves a bit slowly or there's a lot going on because you watch it quick enough for that not to matter. I was struggling with this buy I've watched the last 5 episodes in 5 days and ended up liking it. It isn't near as good as the first one but that was pretty exceptional.

That mean you'd give Game of Thrones another chance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gemmill 2,752 Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 I can get dragon free versions of both and no imps or chat about "the King's justice" elsewhere and on demand. It's crap man. I will not waste any more time on it. Let this be the end of this, lest you suffer the King's justice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
