I must say True Dick is underwhelming this season.
I gotta say it also makes little to no sense.

What I'm watching:
Wayward Pines: Bad ending to an otherwise alright show True Detective: Underwhelming The Strain: Really bad sometimes, really bad in an enjoyable way sometimes, sometimes sort of good Twin Peaks: Fantastic Humans: S1 was great, happy to see a S2 is coming Gonna rewatch House of Cards so I can start S3 and catch up on The Leftovers. |

The kitchen table, Mexican standoff scene to start off True Dick episode 6 had some nice dialogue.
FRANK: We gonna fight, Raymond? RAY: I would have been different. FRANK: Of all the lies people tell themselves, I bet that's the most common. RAY: I could have. You ****ed me. I sold my soul for nothing. FRANK: If you were selling, it wasn't me buying. RAY: You wanted your hooks in a cop, so you used my wife's ****ing tragedy to get me to kill somebody. FRANK: I didn't get you to do anything. I gave you a name and you made your choice. And that choice was in you before your wife or any of this other stuff. It was always there... waiting. And didn't you use that man to be what you were always waiting to become? (scoffs) This thing, your wife-- those are just excuses. You think you were Superman previous? And, hey, own it. You think I'd have done less? If that's the kind of thing that keeps you out of heaven, I don't want to go. RAY: Who gave you the name? FRANK: Guy one of my guys knew, as I remember. Told me your story. Gave up the crankhead talking up the rape. I never heard of the dude until then. Or you. He was scum, I know that. RAY: I never even asked him anything. That guy, I just... FRANK: You want out? You're free. You ain't had the nerve for this for a while. Ray puts his finger on the trigger of his gun. FRANK: I don't want a shoot-out in my ****ing kitchen, Raymond. And I don't want to see you die. By me or one of my other guys. I didn't set you up. And I ain't your suicide ticket.

This post makes as much sense as this season True Drunk.

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. |
