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...


I'm not saying that it has to be the same as season 1 but the impact should be the same. They're trying to do the same things as season 1 it's just not as impactful, the characters aren't as likable, and it's no longer exciting to me.
The creepy dark theme is still there in some ways they're just no executing with it and as a result it's just a cop drama right now, not even as much a detective drama.

And the reverse gender roles aren't just between Farrell and McAdams... how about Taylor Kitsch whose gay lol. They're trying way too hard to be politically correct in ways, not every show needs a main character to be gay. A fourth of the population isn't gay so it doesn't need to be portrayed like that.

Even Vince is femmy in ways.

Do you notice that even you are using they're real names instead of their character names. After all these episodes I barely know their names still.

Oh, believe me. I know their names lol. I only use their real names, because exactly like you said, people like you won't remember them. I don't expect this show to be super popular. I get it. It's not for everyone. Clearly if you aren't getting what you want out of it, you should just stop watching. I think it's great. That's all that matters to me lol.

And did you really say VV's character has "femmy" qualities? LOL WUT. In what world does being a smart, stone-faced badass, holding back an infinite amount of rage, make you "femmy" lol

Good episode.
Next one will be better, and so forth.

Last season, there was a ritualistic serial killer.
This season, we're not sure what it is, yet. But I think it's going to be worse. As in; might not be a killer, but I think some kind of torture/rape/fantasy like group of ppl. Which to me is worse than 1 serial killer just killing ppl.

We'll see!

It wasn't all just one man in the last season, a group of sinister fucks was also in play. Pretty much keeping along the lines of the super rich/powerful just doing w/e the fuck they want because they can. It's disgusting because of how easily it could be real.

Enjoyable season so far, I have loved Vaughn has been amazing imo, really eager to see his decent into evil, he's going to murder a lot of people lol.

mhmmm.
They had started some sick cult, then it died out or so they thaught, but one of them was still active and (not proven) the rest who became more powerfull kept it all hush hush for the "serial killer".

I dont think this season will be similar to that. It's another movie, everything is different.
I like everyone... but Vaughn, just makes me laugh, seen him in to many comedies. Damn Wedding Crashers keeps popping into my mind everytime he talks :rofl:

Vince Vaughn's comedy is pretty bad, so I tried pushing it out of my mind. It was easier to see him as a serious actor after that.

Anyone want to speculate on who they think is going to bite the dust by the end of the season, of the 4 leads. LOL
