It seems whenever a detective noire story is set in LA it bends over backwards to make as little sense as possible. It always starts off nice and easy with a simple murder and then just spirals to the point where it feels like half the city is in on every murder that happens.
I haven't seen episode 7 yet but I've tried very hard to like this season, and while it's still definitely HBO caliber, it lacks whatever it was that made season 1 so great. I don't know if that was the singular direction from Cary Fukunaga, if it was the acting from two great leads, if it was all the Weird horror elements peppered throughout, or if it was the fact that nobody expected anything out of it, but yeah something has been missing this season. Its had great moments and definitely given a career boost to Colin Farrell, although I don't know if Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch will receive the same bump. Vince Vaughn is definitely the weak link, although he has had some good moments, I think if anything comes from this it's that he will get more offers for serious roles, and maybe then he'll star in some Oscarbait.
