So glad to have you back but when are we going to see the chitty chat on the previous episode? Until I read it I feel like I have blue balls.....in..my heart.

I do not agree at all that True Detective II is a bad show or it is boring or a mess, it is a very well achieve "film noire", which delights us in many ways. The actors, starting by the exceptional Collin Farrell, has an outstanding performance, likewise, Ms. Mac Adams and the real fantastic Taylor Kitsch, even Vince Vaughn is quite convincing in his role of a businessman with quite dark interests in drugs, coming from Mexico, he was all right. For many other reasons, I find outrageous some critics, which finds its origin on all kind of prejudices against the show, and more specifically against some actors. It is obvious that "the commentators” cannot compare apples with oranges, such is the case of many comments in this page and other ones too, which in my humble opinion are totally mistaken.
Everything is different from True Detective One, we do not have the same place, the first one, has been shot in New Orléans and the last one in Los Angeles. Secondly the script was indeed quite different, by the same writer, who did a great job, It has been written in an excellent manner, based in well known true facts, which were going on near LA. But what pisses me off, is who had received more unfair and idiotic critics and even personal attacks, is without any doubt Mr. Kitsch, Kitsch is a young and very smart actor, a guy who is, as the French call guys like him a true “charmer” (in English a charming guy) who had shown us, his acting skills in “Battleship” (Peter Berg), another great film, which is "Normal Heart" (with Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer, the marvellous and still gorgeous Julia Roberts, With the three-times Oscar®-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone brings to life this ferocious “Savages”, in which Kitsch demonstrates that he is able to perform successfully lots of characters, no matter how difficult they could be. Again Pete Berg was responsible for "Sole Survivor"; Kitsch was accompanied by formidable actors as Emile Hirsch, Ben Foster, the British Eric Bana and Mark Wahlberg in a fantastic role of Marc Lutthrell, the lone survivor, a true and incredible American hero. Kitsch portrayed Michael Murphy, for his comrades of the Navy Seals, just “Murph” with truthfulness and lots of respect, well deserve.
Last but not least, there is a stereotype, if an actor or actress is good looking, for some envious and “small people”, these actors should be a disaster. Well Kitsch isn't at all, and he certainly is and will be one of the best actors of Hollywood’s new generation. I can apply the same thought, regarding Miss Mc Adams who is brilliant and a very natural actress. I am sure that most viewers don't follow these horrendous critics, the show is still a success, and I hope that some of the current actors will be summoned up for the III "True Detective", they deserve it by far.

The writing and/or directing would be hilarious if it didn't make me cring so hard. The show attempts to build drama with stupidly long pauses to make up for the weak writing. I typically enjoy VV in movies, but the stereotypical gangster lines he delivers are usually prefaced with a pause so long that his eye twitches, killing any tough guy credibility. And that wife...with her slow sexy wordless sashay into the kitchen. I just can't. I can't.
