Yeah. Reminds me a bit of Bong Joon-Ho's Memories of Murder. I hear this new series will play sort of like how American Horror Story does. As in, each season is a self-contained story completely set apart from each other.

First episode was dope.



also, the music is by T. Bone Burnett

 

[n9newunsixx5150]

He did the music for Inside Llewyn Davis. Have you seen that one? Definitely worth checking out.

Woody Harrelson is the dude and I usually like most of the movies and stuff he's been in. I want to watch this.

Really good first episode. I'm hooked

I haven't seen it, I want to, but I did know he did the music for that movie, and some other Coen Brothers stuff

Damn, I was not expecting such greatness to pop out of that bitches shirt

 

[Kon1]

[DubbC415]

lol i posted about those tits in freedom town. even my girl was like "holy shit those are huge"




and props to having Brother Mouzone from the Wire and Laroy from Sons of Anarchy as the two interviewing detectives

After 2 eps I'm not really feeling it. I mean, it's definitely watchable but it seems pretty cookie cutter all around. Also, if they get a second season, will they still do the same style of questioning them now about the 90s?

 

[DubbC415]

^^^Giving up on it already? I agree that its slow, but it seems to be building up to something (hopefully).


and honestly unless it really picks up I dont see it getting a second season. I like it but I dont see it holding viewers like True Blood or Game of Thrones does (both of which I really dont care for)


I also like the contrast between time. It carries the story and develops tension. I like that Woody Harrelsons character starts off as the good cop but is a womanizing asshole, and Matthew McConaughey's character's background humanizes him and makes him less of an weirdo.




my not-so-bold gut feeling is that Matthew McConaughey has some sort of involvement-in both detaching himself from the case with his visions, to being way too close (involved) and he disassociates and pre-plans his clues to make it look like somethings breaking. I dont want to say or think hes the killer, because that would be gay, and I actually really hope hes not involved at all, but I dont see this being a straight detective breaking the case type of storyline.

It's just a really generic show that doesn't do anything exceedingly well. Writing, acting, directing etc is all barely scraping by as serviceable.

Disagree. I'ts a nice dark show that isn't derivative of anything else out right now (maybe there are shades of the killing in there). And the acting is pretty damn good. Its nice to have a sunday night show to look forward to in the off season.

In the 2 episodes i watched i havent got much out of it.
