I couldn't wait for True Detective Season 2 episode 2. Would I get answers or more questions? Would Mr. Crow reveal himself? Would Weekend at Bernie's continue?
Check out my previous recaps or keep reading to dive into this episode. Spoilers beware.
This episode falls into the problems of the first. The plot advances very little. Maybe the dead end leads are to make it seem real, but at least the mystery is provided some amount of purpose and detail.
The few and proud member of the investigative team. |
Not to worry, we have a top team working on the case, Knifey, Drinky, Punchy, and Popper.
Stains on a ceiling transition to a dead man's eyes. Did rats eat the eyes? Vince Vaughn might think so. |
'Punchy' is a dedcicated dad. |
'Puncy' Farrell threw no punches, but surely wanted to.
Vince Vaughn shows us the hard road to the top. |
Feels like the typical Hollywood therapist, or at least how I imagine him. |
At least the therapist didn't claim to need a warrant and doctor-patient privilege
The car conversations still leave a little to be desired. |
'Punchy' Farrell learns about police work. |
Vince Vaughn's character Frank Semyon shows Colin Farrell how to do police work.You'd think 'Puncy' Farrell would have a handles on this, but he doesn't. It took Vaughn two minutes to get a lead on the case, something the cops couldn't do the entire episode.
More sweeping landscape shots. |
Sweeping landscape shots seem to punctuate each location change. A few are fine, but this episode had too many.
Mr. Crow Head returns. |
It seems a bit early for a shocker ending. Would they kill off Farrell this early? If they don't it's going to feel cheap, and he does have a storyline set into motion. What was Farrell about to find? Tune in next time.
