What is Your Fave Shows on Premium Cable?
-
walking dead is basically a soap opera. you tune in to see what the characters are going to run into, away from and to where. this season was alright but it was essential to show how a group that was basically depending on each other, got separated by war and by the end have found each other, albeit in another bad place.
what's interesting to me (since i've never read the comics) is who lives and who dies. walking dead is never afraid of just wiping a major character off the storyboard.
now i've got no walking dead, no true detective (will there be another season?) no fucking football. i guess if i were into spy shit i'd watch the americans but just never got into it, like bates motel or american horror story.
the best shows they ever had are gone: deadwood and the wire........."omar comin!"

Finally caught True Detective season one. The timeline of the plot was a good catch for me. The passage of time (17 years) and how it molded the main characters, especially MM, was well done. MM went a bit overboard with his philosophical rants but he made up for that with his "moves" during the drug house heist and pursuant escape. he is somebody I would want to be with in a foxhole.
Anybody know if a season II is in the works?

it's all about mcconaughey and harrelson at this point. 2 seasoned silver screen movie stars producing and acting in an HBO series is/was a pretty big deal (also did you see the correlation between mcconaughey's character in dallas buyer's club and this.....i'm thinking true detective was filmed after seeing as he gained weight in the series after seeing that movie?).
i've got friends saying they won't do it again as there isn't the same strong story line and might pass it off to a couple of other people. either that or it dies likes AMCs 'the killing' which i liked as well.

I can't recall having two heavyweights on a TV/premium series as badass as MM and WH.
anything after the seasonal plot would be anticlimactic they both crushed it

It was a great series this year. It is supposed to be on next year also, with different actors. HBO has a bad habit sometimes of just canceling a series without warning.

of course Woody Harrelson is on the downside of his career and Matthew McConaughey was on his way to oblivion when he was resurrected in part by Dallas buyers club and mud.

Osriis, I watched all eight episodes in two days, also. as you said. the writing was aces and the acting first rate. I've always liked Woody over the years although the majority of his flicks haven't been the greatest. MM impressed the hell out of me with his portrayal of Rust. Not since The Sopranos have I enjoyed a tv series as much.
I'd enjoy hanging out with either of them although I'd likely team up with Rust for the long term. I sometimes share his attitudes regarding our existence on planet earth.
I liked the area they shot the series in (south La). I used to run with a dude in the Navy who would take me home with him to La bayou country. it was a different world back then. I understand the whole area has changed, though, after the 'canes of 2005.
I'd like to see more episodes of the series, but as I said earlier, their first year efforts would be hard to duplicate and any resurrection of MM and WH in those roles would be anti-climatic.
FWIW, Woody got busted (1982) in CBUS for public intox and disorderly conduct. his booking photo is out there in cyberworld if any are interested. His father was a hitman. He assassinated a federal judge in Texas in 1980 and spent the rest of his life in the joint.

After digging around the internet, this is what I could find on a season 2 for TD:Osriis, I watched all eight episodes in two days, also. as you said. the writing was aces and the acting first rate.

- MM and WH will definitely not be back. Each of the seasons is intended to be a standalone story and so we can expect new actors. Brad Pitt has been rumored.
- season two will be about "hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system." (This is how the writer described it)
- season 2 may take place in Southern California.
- the lead is a female as he currently writes season 2 but that may change.

what harrelson did in natural born killers was great but after you get hooked up with oliver stone it's like you follow him and career spirals down like a toilet flushing. same with a lot of actors who've done tarrantino flicks.
one of the guys in an adjoining room at ft. know was from hampton LA and went down there in my car with a dude from brooklyn in '81. went to the french quarter and the crawfish fest at lake pontchatrain (sp?) and the whole was a blur weekend was a blur. just remember trying to pick up my friends sister and him not taking too kindly to it, even though she was all over my shit. that was before i learned the guy code.
i ended up learning it the hard way.
