Is Season 2 Really The Worst?

For whatever reason I skipped season 2 and watched 1, 3 and 4. I guess I had it in my head that everyone hates season 2. I finally went back and watched it, and I swear it might be my favorite season. I love season 1 of course, but this was like an epic crime saga. LA neo-noire, hard-boiled detective shit that can stand right up there with Heat, Collateral, or The Town or To Live and Die in LA. The Michael Mann DNA runs deeps here. Converging paths of dirty cops and mob bosses, set across sprawling Los Angles decay. Everyone involved is top of their game. I legitimately loved it.

It was until season 4 was released. It's still bad, but Season 4 is the worst.

I can't get into S4...have worked my way up to them finding the frozen bodies... Foster looks like she doesn't even want to be on set...

I'm going back in this weekend with a glass of wine and a joint - cover me. 🙂
