True Detective: Mandy

And we found the shark.

Cage is a good actor if he's given good material. Get John Travolta to be the other detective or the murderer and this could be great.

Spiritual successor of face off

This show had a great first season but since then its downfall is like no other.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah but 'Detectives Solve Murder' is an evergreen concept.

season 2 is really good imo, much better than s3 and presumably s4

[–] jbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I liked S02 much more than S01.

S01 is better made and more consistent, but I thought the theme and the ending of S02 was pretty unique for an American series.

S04 was OK and had a good start but IMO it went nowhere. S02 (and S01 for that matter) had a much more coherent beginning, middle and end structure.

[–] Ougie@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Hm maybe I misjudged S02? Tbh I felt it had a good vibe but the plot was kinda jumbled up... Definitely wasn't as sinister as the first. Maybe I should re-watch it.

Hey he was in Lord of War

[–] jbone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

Leaving Las Vegas was also really good.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago

lol.. hard pass

Please no.

I've seen a couple of his more recent 'serious' projects and he just ruins it when he's on screen. He doesn't even try in his longlegs movie

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

He has money problems so he does a lot of bad movies to keep getting paid, but he can still be good when it's a good movie at its core.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was amazing.

If true detective is good (I don't watch it) he'll be good.

Was Pig one of those? Just curious since it’s one I’ve seen.
