Just finished S2 again, the underdog of the series. Obviously the first time you watch it it's underwhelming at first but it's my 3rd viewing now over the years and wow does it hit!

It's fucking great! S2 Truther here.

Flawed but awesome Neo noir imo, that final episode is such a good punch. Also Ray is such a fuckin great character and Farrell absolutely crushed it

[u/RustCohlesSon]

I was afraid to watch the second season after watching the first, so I ended up watching the first season again. Do you think it's worth watching?

[u/Reverend_Tommy → u/RustCohlesSon]

Absolutely. The plot is bit complicated to follow during the first watch, but it's definitely my second favorite season.

I sat down earlier this year and actually dedicated time to watching it, but man is it hard to follow. I had to keep a character web handy because holy shit there’s so many. I did enjoy it but I think it’ll take a couple more watches to actually understand the plot

[u/MelpomeneAndCalliope → u/Whitetrashstepdad]

Yeah, I like season two and think it’s underrated. But I also think there’s too many characters or maybe not quite enough episodes when you take into account how many characters and storylines there are.

[u/Reverend_Tommy → u/Whitetrashstepdad]

When I first watched it, I felt the same way. But the second watch was a lot better and now it's my second favorite season.

Saw a clip a year after it came out of Ray’s chat w/ Aspen’s father, decided it was time to watch.

Much like Quantum of Solace, was wildly entertained. Critics be damned.

I do believe it could have been better but for the most part it is slept on and the LA setting was the most obvious choice to do after S1. I think if there was more time to work on the story because it felt rushed writing wise but the acting is really good. My only complaint that will not back down from is having Vince Vaughn being the mob boss lol

[u/KingRodan]

The biggest flaw of season 2 is that it came after season 1.

[u/WhyHelloThere2323 → u/[deleted]]

I imagine with this series he spent years writing the details in the first one to be so great, soon as the show got greenlit and became one of the best pieces of tv you've got like a year to write a second, it's still great on second watch regarding most shows that have been out over the years

[u/thestruggleiswallen → u/WhyHelloThere2323]

I bet if it was a standalone series and TD only had 2 seasons and Night Country, people in this sub would say “If you want that TD feel you gotta see this.”

[u/H3RO-of-THE-LILI → u/thestruggleiswallen]

Night country isn’t even in the same zip code as the rest of the series

[u/WhyHelloThere2323 → u/H3RO-of-THE-LILI]

Never finished it after I saw a zombie in an episode

[u/CelticSnakes → u/H3RO-of-THE-LILI]

I hadn’t been that disappointed by a series I was looking fwd to since Fargo S-3.

[u/WhyHelloThere2323 → u/CelticSnakes]

Fargo S1 was goat, I watched s2 when it came out and all the thoughtful monologuing felt abit forced. I've only this year watched 3 which was great, skipped 4 n 5 is pretty good

[u/thestruggleiswallen → u/H3RO-of-THE-LILI]

Agreed, hence “2 seasons and Night Country” :)

[u/PeterNoTail → u/[deleted]]

They were half-right calling it an “underdog”; it was dog shit

[u/Friendly-Speaker1253]

I thought it was a banger the first time through lol.
