THERE MAY BE TEENY TINY LITTLE BABY SPOILERS IN HERE BUT I really don't think so. Either way, carry on at your own Peril!!! 😈
I'll keep this as short as possible. I enjoyed every episode of season one and found the show to be particularly unique Within Discovery ID's lexicon. Therefore when I found out that a second season had been released I was only that much more anticipatory.
The atmosphere of the show is excellent: dark, brooding, and the addition of the detectives themselves lends its own "jena se qua" to the atmosphere. Having them drive the story with, not only their insider info, but their emotional involvement as well. Really lends an authentic and true-to-heart aspect to the storytelling that "Discovery-ID" tends to miss the ball on. The show is not all runnin' and gunnin', chasing the perp down for satisfying endings. We've seen that, OK, let's do something different and here it is!
Right off the bat you can tell this show is different. You can see, very clearly, that the detectives involved have been deeply emotionally and physically impacted by their respective cases. The stories are difficult for them to tell and therefore, make for a truly Visceral viewing experience. It is cold, worrisome, and expressively melancholic. However, they have managed to do that in the most sincere and eloquent of ways, so that none of the gloom feels forced in any way. It is natural, and it is authentic, and it is human life as it relates to human loss on the grandest of scales. That being the family, of course.
I HIGHLY recommend this show, there are things to be gained from such viewing, it is worthwhile television at its best. S02E01 IS AN episode that absolutely had my jaw on the floor, if all TV and storytelling were that good I would never get anything done! Thanks to the cast of "REAL DETECTIVE" for doing what you do because this guy HIGHLY appreciates it!
Sincerely,
Leonard Sullivan
P.s. Season 2 was EVEN BETTER than the previous, so kudos to you!
