Given it five episodes now and there's barely anything that makes me want to keep watching it. Apart from the hope it may turn awesome at any given moment ...

i think I'll stop watching it. compared to season 1 (which I thought was too long, somewhat boring, but overall good) this just feels like a regular cop show

Watched tonights episode. I think it's deceit. I wonder what the twist will be?

i wasn't convinced until the 4th episode. now i think shit is starting to happen, and some kind of arc is happening.
really disappointing that i had to wait this long though.
- Agreed. In my house we don't even remember their names which is always a bad sign. "The Gay One", "Farell", "The Mayor", "Dodgeball Matie" etc.HAYZ1LLLA

YEah it's gotten pretty tedious this season. Not sure if it's worth the torrent anymore :/

Am I the only one who thinks the characters are one dimensional and the acting is subpar?
On side note, as a LA resident, I am loving the arial footage.
- Did you see your house?breadlegz
- Not Yet!ArmandoEstrada
- I used to work in Vernon (Vinci), so thats fun.BrokenHD
- Vinci looks like a hell hole.
Like a West Coast Newark.CyBrainX

Was rocky at first, but I'm with it.
I don't spend all week anticipating it, but when Sunday evening rolls around i'm like aw yeah.
The focus on LA corruption, feels like modern homage to Chinatown.
- It's creeping along but I'm def watching each episode as it releases so I guess I'm into it, i like the moody dirty vibeprophetone

my wife noted that in the latest epsiode, where collin farell confronts vaughn in the kitchen, you can really spot the difference in acting talent...the seething anger from farell is amazing, whereas Vince (according to her) just wasn't convincing...
I agree to a certain extent, Collin has been pretty amazing in this series i think...
still think she's being a bit harsh on vince vaughn though..i fucking love that guy...have liked him ever since Swingers...
- he's been brilliant in the last few episodes, and whilst this season isn't as good as the first so far, it is starting to improve.cruddlebub
- I don't think Vaughn was meant to be necessarily angry in that scene - outside of being disturbed from post-morning sex relaxing. More so just on the defensive.duckseason
- Granted, I see what you/she means. I feel Colin has been the belle of the ball this season, for better or worse.duckseason
- I don't think either one are great actors. Colin is well cast and can only take roles like this. Vaughan is godawful but adequate in this.CyBrainX
- The problem is that all the actors are directed to act in the same way.CyBrainX

SPOILER ALERT

Next time you have an emotional conflict, do 3 grams of coke, a bottle of whisky and do some pull-ups. Pwoblem sollved ! Also, when you're a cop, dress up like a hooker and take drugs at an orgy for no other reason than to accidentally find some missing person. Then escape with your two backups who in the meantime located and illegally retrieved important documents at the same orgy ! This show is so badly written it needs crutches even to lie down on the ground. I think the gay dude's wife's mom did it !- Are you HERE to make FRIENDS?GeorgesII
- I don't know, I don't have much to say, I get a lot from QBN and I try to give back also. I'm just really annoyed by TD this season.srhadden
- If you're rogue and desperate and thats all you have to go on and you've been hearing about these parties, damn right you attend.BrokenHD
- Drugged missing chick being there, not a surprise. Unsecured documents at the super secure boonie mansion? incredibly lucky, not impossible though. Next.BrokenHD

Season 1 was so good that it never crossed my mind to push my luck watching season 2. Sounds like I made a wise choice.
- tough act to followRamanisky2
- It's definitely a different show this season and if that's going to tarnish season 1 for you, then it's probably better to not watch.MondoMorphic
- Still, season 2 is entertaining it its own right. :)MondoMorphic

What kind of bullshit was that??? How did he anticipate he was going to exit there???
- That was the only exit? He should have gone back and killed the police chiefHayoth
- You can see when he exist that he could have gone left or right. Either way he was underground with probably a ton of exits.ArmandoEstrada
- I watched that 1 min ago and that wtf? how would that guy know to be at that random exit when he coulda been a mile in other direction wtfprophetone
- on the other hand velcoro knockn some boots bro ohhhhhh hahaprophetone
- kid was a warrior god who can't check his six.zenmasterfoo

What, you don't think the Blackwater Private Security Detail PSD has at least 10 more guards nearby, posted at other exits and so on? You don't think they have access to security cameras down in the LA tunnels? Your boy shoulda' assumed, really. Twist.
- He mentioned they had guards outside when they first walked in.Hayoth
- I still call bullshit. Thats a cop-out. I expect better from this series.ArmandoEstrada
- Total copout. I'm with ya.Hayoth

I dunno guys, I fucking like it a lot. Probably the only person i know who's actually into it since day one... I watched Inherent Vice recently too and The Long Goodby so I have a taste for that LA noir stuff...
Farrell is brilliant in this. I really believe him in that character. I read an interview with him once where he recounted his drug taking in a week to a therapist and it went like this: 20 Ecstasy Tabs, 4 Grams of Coke, 6 Grams of Speed, 1/2 Oz of Hash, 3 Bottles of Jack Daniel's, 12 Bottles of Wine, 60 Pints of Beer & 40 cigarettes a day
I don;t want to compare it to the first season. The first season now feels a bit obvious... But hey! I'm just a man who likes to be entertained.

Was surprised at how the thing in the tunnels went down. That guy was a dummy for not checking those doors.

Slate did a really good "WTF is going on" article this week which tied a lot of things together.

One thing that I was confused on was who the black guy was talking to Woodrugh in the tunnels. He's the Vinci Police Chief Holloway - and I don't know if he's actually related to the Blackwater-ish group Woodrugh was in. I didn't make that connection until I read this article today.

I love this season and don't understand all the rabid, unfocused criticism.
I'll go and watch two other shows I like that are rife with clichés and purple writing, but don't catch the same amount of heat - Mr Robot and Halt and Catch fire, and really enjoy them. But TD season 2 is still on an entirely different level.
- I never watched Mr. Robot but watched one episode of Halt and Catch Fire and was too overwhelmed with cliches to continue.CyBrainX
