Just went back and watched ep. 4 again. Something just didn't sit right with me the first time around. So glad I did. I picked up on sooo many little things I missed before. That was a great episode. Truly.

Edit: Soooo many great scenes in that episodes. That scene with her and her father. The one in the car between CF and TK. The bar scene with Vine and Colin was the best by far. Amazing.

Season 1 was so amazing... and season 2 only has me coming back to the next episode because of the last 5 minutes.

There is hardly and direction and most people don't get what the hell is going on at this point.

I'm really disappointed.

Dude. It's not over. And honestly, it's not even that hard to figure out. You just have to pay attention to the details. The subtle things. The body language. The answers are all right in front of us, we just haven't "figured it out" yet. Just let the season finish first lol...

If anyone has any questions. I'd be more than happy to try and answer the best I can. I am confidant I have a pretty firm grasp on what's going on this season. And I love it.

The one thing most people dont understand is; this isn't a show based on season 1-2-3, etc. It's one short movie per season, mostly about a crime and the solving of it. No one should compare one detective movie to another, cause both are totally different, they dont even follow one another or of the same nature.

I'll only say what I've already said; show is not for everyone.

Not at all lol. For me at least.

It's literally become where the men are women and the women are men. Like there are only 3 episodes left, and the main plot is getting overshadowed by all of the sub-plots of each character.
Last season the characters were just so memorable even though the show was slow it sucked me in and was deep, dark, and creepy. Just not that case this season, it's like they're trying too hard.

But you can't ever expect that same "vibe". Especially when they are telling two COMPLETELY differently stories, which are apparently not connected at all. So, why is it even a good thing to try and compare it to s1? God, I almost wish they would have renamed this season, just so I can stop hearing that excuse of it not being as good or as memorable as s1. And this is coming from someone who loves s1 more than most things. I have a $#@!ing TD tattoo from s1 for christ sake lol. But, I get it. I can almost guarantee, if this show was called ANYTHING else, it wouldn't be getting the hate it's getting. I don't care either way. I love s2.

P.S. - Rachel McAdams being a strong female lead and Colin Farrell having a more caring side, should not merit your stereotypical response of gender roles. Enjoy the show and the characters as they are. Not as the world tells you how they "should be"...

P.P.S. - The sub-plots in this show are what I live for...
