I'm trying it's just so hard to stay interested in watching it. Nothing good even happens until you're almost halfway through the episode.

Finally finished it. After like 5 hours or more. Shit ending to a shit season. Still have no fucking clue what was going on. Felt like I was trying to watch 3 shows at once.

IF
there is a season 3, they better get their shit together. This is what the fuck happens when you take a known working recipe and try to "improve it". I would gladly watch 10 seasons of something that was on par with season 1. If season 3 does not start with a bang, I will not ever even consider finishing it or watching any further seasons.

i think the problem is woody harlson and that other guy are running the show, i don't think they really know what they are doing, so the way they cut the scenes and tell the story, there are holes everywhere and it makes it super hard to follow

i think woody is just a producer. to me, it seemed with this season they just had too much story to tell, and it wasn't that great of a story to begin with. so the buildup was convoluted and confusing with absolutely no payoff at its finale. i'll give it another chance though. the first season is a tough act to follow no matter how you cut it.

There's a guaranteed season 3. They need less main characters and less Vince Vaughn.

Agreed.  The finale was bad.  Way too much energy was put into the Vince Vaughn character.  I spent the first 4-5 episodes thinking he was the killer and never cared about him.  So fifteen minutes of him walking through the desert talking to himself was a total waste of time.  The McAdams character was totally neutered and just sat around waiting for the whole damn episode.  She was the best character and nothing happened with her at all.  And what about her family?  Especially her sister.  Are they safe now?  I don't think so, especially since she had all the proof.  So wtf, she just leaves them in Oregon? 

Didn't like it.  Hopefully season 3 is better.  They need new writers, producers, and directors.  Hopefully Harrelson and McConneghey pull his shit together.

Vince Vaughns wife, whatever her character name... made me want to slit wrist. Have another abortion and cry about it. Watch Vince try to act affected.

Their little white dress and suit story mid conversation made me cringe.

:shrug: I'm not even entirely sure what the main story line is, much less some offshoot of it.

All that she ever said was that she remembered his face, not that she knew who he was.  It was substantial to her that she remembered his face because she had previously blocked the entire memory out, not because she knew who it was.

They're co-producers. Not directors. They have nothing to do with what happens on set. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if both didn't attend one second of actual filming.

no spoilers in this post so dont worry,


but season 2 was so crap. the acting was unconvincing, the dialogue, everything. you could see they were trying to push for a really sohisticated high acting sort of realism but it just didn't work at all. it all seemed so fake and forced. the characters didnt seem real and i had a hard time taking them seriously.

i liked the concept of them picking new producers, directors, actors, plot lines etc every season. but it hasn't worked on season 2. season 1 was an amazing show, amazing story, amazing actors. even the feel of the show was just right.

season 2 was lacking in alot of ways. it was still cool and all, and it does have its moments. there was a lot of cool music and things for e.g. , but season 2 is not even on the same level as season 1 without a doubt.

Yeah I pretty much agree on all counts.

I'm going to expect a strong season 3, though. Reason being, season 2 was pretty much panned across the spectrum, and they know it. I got confidence that they can get it corrected because we already know that they can do it -- as season 1 was proof of that.

They know that they can't have a repeat of what happened this season with the critics & viewers, or else it'll mean the end of the show. Another bad season and it won't survive to see a fourth.
