Really disappointed with True Detective 2 so far. As much as I like Rachel McAdams and her character, it's pretty much the only redeeming factor so far. The production values are still there, and yeah, they have tried hard to recapture the mood of the original series, but it's coming off as contrived and really rushed. It's like watching a first draft of an idea that's been rushed into production in order to capitalize on the success of season 1.
The Vince Vaughn character is so dull and unconvincing. Colin Farrell's role has promise, and I can see there McAdams-Farrell thing working ... but not with this draft.
Louisiana was the hidden star of True Detective 1, Los Angeles is a sad depressing replacement ... so far ... and given the sad depressing characters, the sad depressing dialogue, and sad depressing mood, and sad depressing cinematography ... no surprise that TD2 is, well, sad and depressing.
Maybe McAdams and Farrell can save it in the long run.
