I keep meaning to watch The Deuce then forgetting about it. I have a habit of starting shows, enjoying them then dropping off for whatever reason but not starting anything until I finish them so I just end up on episode three or whatever for months.
Two episodes into series 3 of True Detective. Looks pretty good so far, much better than the second series, anyway. Suitably bleak and with a hint of the weird but none of the outright occult stuff from the first series (yet).
Might check this out!
Did you watch season 1? I loved it. Watched two episodes of the second series and it just looked like a boring mess.
S1 was one of my favorite all-time TV experiences but I felt let down by the conclusion. all the previous episodes were so fucked up and intense, and then the ending was pretty formulaic crime drama "chase/catch the villain and kill him". I still love it more than pretty much any other TV series, just wish the ending had been as fucked up and intense as the rest of it.
What did you think of Twin Peaks: The Return?
haven't seen it. after watching and loving the original "TP" on TV, I feel like it might spoil it to see the revival, even though I've heard it's pretty dang fucked up.
but it's sloooooow.
It's a miracle they managed to get it on TV.
but it was created by/on showtime, a premium cable network. it's a lot easier to get weird shit on there than on network TV, which is what the original TP was on.
Plus its David Lynch and people were gagging for it. Probably wasn't too hard.
I guess, but he still had to get the cast back together, several of whom were dying at the time, and I can't picture any suit who got a look at it feeling particularly confident.
