True Detective: Omega Station (2015)
Season 2, Episode 8
8/10
Best cop drama ever. (Sorry "The Wire")
10 August 2015
My only reason for writing this review, which I never have for any show before, is because it is simply being trashed by incredibly pompous critics whose head it must've gone wayyyyyyy over. Maybe not quite as good as the first season... maybe. Season two had without a doubt though, had the BEST season finale I have ever seen in my entire life. It was... flawless. Pizzolatto captures atmosphere and pure grit better then anyone else in the game. Point. Blank. Period. DO NOT let dumb*** critics dissuade you from watching, there is something within their cynical little brains that keeps them from being able to enjoy the amazing art of true detective. And ALL the actors were amazing, I don't know what got up their ass about Vince Vaughn as they've trashed him the most, but he played the part beautifully, and his performance was completely unique. Never have I seen a portrayal of a wounded gangster done in this fashion and it was awesome! Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams, well, they were born to play these parts, I'm not sure it isn't really who they are in real life. Farrell had me in tears in the final episode, he absolutely killed it, and if McAdams' Bezzeride wasn't the most badass portrayal of a strong woman in television then I don't know what in the world is. Of course the critics found problems with it, blah blah blah, big surprise. They'll find problems with everything until all of TV is comprised of nothing but gay minority characters... only then will they be truly happy. ANNNND one more thing: Taylor Kitsch. I was surprised at this one, having never seen anything he was in before I didn't know what to expect, but his portrayal of a closeted gay cop was so frickin' good I felt like I could understand his pain and rooted for him the entire time. Overall Pizzolatto did it again, this guy has created the darkest, most fun cop show of all time. Sorry "The Wire", although I love you, you still are not 8 hour long movie material. Nothing is. Except "True Detective". Thanks Nic P, hope you do it again next year. Oh yeah,and critics, f*** you.
