Season 2 of True Drunk is good. However if you are triggered by the cast being hammered 24/7 then don't watch it. But other than that no complaints.

I just binged all the way up to the latest episode and...

Spoiler for spoilers:
If I hadn't been looking at the beginning credits of the 1st ep of season 2, I would have been totally confused that there was a completely new cast. I honestly don't know why it's even the same show. I have to assume that the shotgun dude with the crow mask at the end of ep 2 is somehow connected to the animal masks from the first season, or else these are two different shows.

So far it's cool and all, but there's no character as compelling as Rust, the urban setting isn't nearly as amazing as Louisiana, and I'm dubious that the story is going to be anywhere near as engaging as season 1. I'll give it time, but for the time being, season 1 was a mini-series and season 2 is completely unaffiliated, or else I'm just going to ruin it by comparing the two.

How about your take on season one as a whole? What did you think of the finale? So many great scenes but how about Woody's acting when Rust first shows him the VHS tape in the storage shed?

Fantabulous. I watched the entire thing in a day, so it really felt like one long movie. "Intense" would be the word I would use if I could only use one.

And I'm actually happy I knew about the weird fiction connection going in, cause I was always in Lovecraft mode while watching it. Rust almost felt like a Lovecraft protagonist after he'd seen something that he wasn't supposed to: broken, nihilistic, and with a crushing sense of his own tiny place in the universe.

The VHS tape was some great weird fiction-style horror as well. Just enough to be creepy, but in the end it tells you nothing and let's your imagination horrify itself.

Even Louisiana was a perfect setting. It had that same kind of desolate, isolated, creepy atmosphere as the kinds of New England ****holes that a Lovecraft story always takes place in.

I actually still have the original Sandman 1-10 I bought sometime in the early 90's. Should probably unload them as they are just sitting in a cupboard although they are in plastic. Great Series.

Binged the first three episodes of season 2 of TD. Such a completely different animal from season 1. I get that's the intent but it's hard to deal with coming off of the complete awesomeness of season 1.

Spoiler for Spoilers:
Few comments:

- Enough with the overhead panning shots of LA freeways that are not bumper to bumper traffic in the middle of the day.

- Too many side stories going on. Frank's impotence, Paul's gay dalliance during the war, the Mayor's f-cked up family, all add nothing to the narrative IMO (at least not yet).

- Vince Vaughn yanking out Goldie's teeth to show he's still badass? A bit overdone. I can see Goldie having one of his homies putting a bullet in Frank's skull for that.


Still better than most of what's on TV and I'm really hoping it gets more focused and intense like season 1 did as it went on.
