[@wasteland70]

People slammed this season. I don't know why. I thought it was great.

[@Dissection1666]

me too!

[@Shteno]

+wasteland70 Far from great! And the reason for slamming is simple: First season is probably THE best thing ever created for television, so everyone (well, almost) expected pretty much the same level of quality in season 2. But that was/is simply undoable! Especially not for only 6 month after he (Nic) finished writing the first season, in which he put his best: his philosophical ideas, the attitude towards life, the inspiration for the murder itself, all of the essential things he's been developing for probably his all life... And they (the producers) wanted him to do the same thing again in just 6 months?! But writing doesn't work that way! That's why season 2 was just a pale copy of the first season! Characters were far from being original, many of the lines were poor, the initial idea for the murder was incomplete, and many other things! Of course, one of the main was the absence of the director Cary Joji Fukunaga, who directed the entire 1st season. This time they tried with different directors for each episode, hoping that it'll work out (as it is in many other shows), but it clearly didn't. Instead we've got numerous boring shots that only added to the overall failure! So, let's hope that it won't happen again in season 3. Let's hope that Nic will come up with new ideas, create original characters (not all of them have to be tormented by their ghosts from the past), and that the story will unfold in intriguing way!

[@Dissection1666]

+Shteno That's just, like... your opinion, man. i mean yeah, the first season was a masterpiece, but the second one was good on his own terms.

[@klimkazantsev6597]

+Shteno I wouldn't say the best, but first season was very solid, definitely on par with Daredevil among other shows and one of the best in the last decade since the first two seasons of csi. Having said that, second season is different, still quality but very different from the first, and I thing that is what bothers people, at least that is how it was for me. I was looking for more of season 1 weirdness instead I got state corruption so that took a bit of getting used to but once I did that was that.

[@Shteno]

Klim Kazantsev Your view on life, and therefore TV shows is obviously totally opposite of what a show like TD (1st season) is. Just by saying that your favorite show is CSI, speaks more than enough...

[@joejoey6608]

Beautifully done...best tribute I've seen yet. Music is just like Ray.

[@Dissection1666]

joe joey thx ;D

[@Shteno]

Yeah, it's fine, but you ought to see the work of this guy named Grzegorz Grabowiec (just looked it up, cuz as you see, it's not the easiest name in the world, to remember 😉😄😋probably Polish or Hungarian. Nevertheless, it's also the name of his channel, and he's made many, many such clips, dubbed "The story of ....", about the most memorable characters in the best TV series, like True Detective, Fargo, Breaking Bad...) who's also made a tribute video of Ray. I'm gonna send you one of his best works (DA BEST, by me), about THE most memorable TV characters in the last 30+ years, after Special Agent Dale Cooper, I guess - Rustin Cohle. Afterwards, he made a video about Ray Velcoro too (if you haven't seen it already, it's also named "The Story Of Ray Velcoro"), and the unique thing about Grzegorz"s work (in this case) is that he decided for a 1st time, to use the same music/song, as he did in Rust video, with an intention to emphasize the similarities between these two characters, from different seasons different story alltogether. But to cut this comment shorter, here's a link, and then if you like it, as I said, check out the Ray video. Peace and enjoy it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZmzgqONqpWKsLM

[@eduardogutierrez8839]

Dang 7 years later and still come back to video. Man thank you for this ❤

[@domais68]

Fantastic tribute! I'm not sure Ray wanted to live or ever believed that he would. Even after the big cash score and plans to run to South America, he never appeared confident about getting out or leaving his son and father. Unlike with Season 1, both main characters were doomed. Frank's walk, at the end, was hard to watch. Ray recognized his end from his father's dream.

[@Dissection1666]

THX!

[@impossible7163]

What a great tribute to a complicated character.

[@marcellegault9752]

I love that True detective focuses on new charecters every season.

[@selimmidikoglu5534]

Instead of season 2, Ray Velcoro was the point here. Everybody loves first season but come on Matthew McConaughey is awesome actor but for years I felt like his acting style always lets me through some same spot. Colin on the other hand, he is god damn living the role here. This character is the most harsh one in entire series. Anger, madness, deep heart, courage, no need to be genious, and everything pure human. We loved first season because of twists, deep story telling, a random criminal and idiotic beliefs carcosa and fat sadistic fuck who lives in forest, and more importantly the philosophy. But I liked this season the most. This has everything about how pure shit is the system in and out. I probably could not explain my thoughts correctly but u know whatever.

[@macp988]

one of the best characters in TV series! prime acting and writing

Colin was beast in this!

[@mattkline3431]

Great season. Farrell is world-class.

[@domais68]

Colin F. did a great job on this show. He was the perfect actor for the role of Ray Velcoro. I hope there's a "T.D. 3." Who will be the next 2??

[@Roberthenryii]

+james lachs who would you want in the next season.

[@domais68]

+Roberthenryii Great question! I loved Season 1 and couldn't wait to hear who the big 2 would be for Season 2. When I heard that it would be C.F. and V.V., I was floored, especially with Big "Frank." Loved it! Loved it even more the 2nd time I watched it! If there is a Season 3, and I think there will be, I expect to be shocked again. Just for kicks, I'll throw out Jake Gyllenhaal and Gary Oldman. Do you know if Season 3 is confirmed? Do we have any timeline on announcing characters? I'd assume that filming would start in the not too distant future. I hope we have many more seasons! Have a good one! P.S. V.V. took a big risk it doing this show and, in my eyes, it paid from an artistic standpoint. From a dollars and cents standpoint, I'm not so sure. It will take awhile before I'll be able to take him seriously as a comedic actor. His next choice will be huge!

[@Roberthenryii]

+james lachs three is confirmed. im thinkin brad pitt, ray liotta or leo

[@domais68]

+Roberthenryii Best news of the day to hear that Season 3 is confirmed. I'm hoping that this Series is on long enough so that it becomes popular for all the greats to give the show their best shot. Hugh Jackman and Robert Downey Jr. just came to mind. Thanks for the good news!

[@Dissection1666]

Liotta would be cool. DiCaprio could rock it too. We'll see ;)

I actually think the music could have been soft. His story is tragic and I felt for him.

[@ronnie22shade]

Nah, he lives in chaos, he lead a hardcore life and ended his life in a similar fashion

[@balriel7229]

There is another one with soft music on youtube. But this fits perfectly. Ray is just full of rage, bitterness and violence. His eyes literally turns black when he gets violent. The music is perfect.

Can you imagine Ray and Rust in a scene together? They probably just get loaded, talk philosophy, then fight. It'd be awesome.

Now that would be the text book definition of a Death Battle.

[@truemakedon]

BAD ASS CARACTER EVER

[@suzannebyars240]

I feel sad that he might die..BEFORE his time. but I am only sad insofar as he can help me financially. people stole from me...everything I had and all I worked for...and he helped them do it too. I worry about my children..and our future...and how we don't have ANYBODY to help us or to count on.

This season was awesome people give it shit It was never gonna beat the first season because it was literally spotless, but this season was great on its own right and certainly better than that shit show season 3

[@NationalAnthemsChannel]

Hi Dissection1666, I was just wondering, did you ever make a tribute video for Frank Semyon with the soundtrack "The Way"? I hope so. It got deleted a long time ago, but I always wanted to find it, and it seems it might have been you who made it.

[@suzannebyars240]

No. No more affairs. It is wrong too. Either someone helps me the right way...and someone gives me the RING the right way. Or no deal. I stay. I can do bad..all by myself. I don't need anymore bad people in my LIFE. I had enough of those who do bad and expect good results from it. ...

[@d1bigshifter737]

Can you watch each season seperatly

[@midwestpartyfest4005]

wow 1/6 the view of rust's story lol.. season 1 ftw

[@suzannebyars240]

Where are YOU?...and what do you want me to do? I am free and clear now...sort of. Do you want to see me or not? What is your location and how are you going to tell me, if you want to tell me anything....? Are you free for seeing me, do you want to see me? I can't remember where you are or if you are, still there. I need this ring from you if you want to see me and ai have no idea of your true financial condition... If you want to see me, I really AGREE WITH YOU TOO and I WANT TO BE always with you and married to you and I want to be together with you. I don't know...what is wrong and I don't know what has happened to you and ai am sorry and I have worried about you and thought about and thinking about you all the time. I love you. Only Colin Zfarrell.

[@Nergal_Slayer]

@Danny Danko 🤣🤣🤣🤣What the hell is up with this lady?

[@jefersonvilaede]

sad that his son didnt get his voice memos

[@suzannebyars240]

I am already in some kind of bad circumstances and I should insist that things be done a certain way but due to these circumstances, I have not been or acted too desperately, I don't just do..whatever or any crazy thing like some people around here seem to do? Anyway, I don't want to pretend that a ceremony is needed to make sure of my commitment bit the formalities are more needed BECAUSE of the other people who really really need to see these formalities -- or else they just act criminally, and they are doing..whatever they wanted to. I am saying I want the commitment and the perseverance, dedication whatever you want to call it, the loyalty and the formalities with Colin Farrell ONLY. I...can't seem to have handled the situation properly BEFORE NOW but now I am seeing more how to do that. A way to do this. ...

[@suzannebyars240]

just..if the answer is no..we don't have to die or anything for it ...right ?

[@grotesqueandmacabre]

Damn, every other character in the entire series run seems so tame compared to Ray...

[@suzannebyars240]

I have personally had..a lot of lives...none of them good...that I can remember yet. all of them bad so far anyway....

[@suzannebyars240]

I am saying that if you bring your commitment and something that symbolizes it, and you are Colin Farrell ONLY, you don't have to call and you don't have to wait and you don't have to worry at all about anything at all, if you WANT the agreement with ME TOO. I am saying that I want the agreement with you ONLY and I have no way of figuring out how to make that happen but I am more than happy and more than willing to help you make that happen if this is what you want with ME TOO. -- only to see Colin Farrell ONLY. Yes, that is what I want and I want to make that happen with you only.

[@Diggz24]

@Danny Danko the really strange thing is look how many times this creepy fuck has posted! And it's all a bunch of run-on sentences and giberish!

[@suzannebyars240]

I had an affair one time. I didn't trust the guy either. I want to leave NOW TOO. I can't get a job..he steals all of the money that I make or earn....he takes it away from me and quits his job. He is a lunatic. I want to be able to trust the person I leave with..the one who wants to help me. But who will accept me now, with my children...my problems....all I wanted was love. I never got it...

[@suzannebyars240]

Mark...doesn't love me...and I don't want to live the rest of my life with him. I guess it will be scary and traumatic..however it happens but I would rather see you. Why can't you tell me where you are now ? And if you're available....and how I can see you, and what am I supposed to do? I wish I had been seeing you all the time, the whole time now. How can I have a monogamous relationship between us?...to me that is marriage and has to have rings and at least something to commemorate the event. If you aren't feeling the same I am going to be so disappointed and worse. Please let me know either way what you want me to do for you. ...Colin.

[@suzannebyars240]

Just do. Don't try. Don't worry. Don't forget what I said. The most important part. That,I mean what I said. I will do what I say. I will be available if U say that I will. If I say to somebody else that I am not available then I mean that too. People still try, that I said no to, over 30 years ago....over 20 years,ago...they are somehow just waiting to see if I finally get desparate enough to settle for someone that I do not live or do not want ? I thought there was...a better way. I thought there has to be..SOMEONE else...I said that I was happy with the FIRST. And Mark is not the first. Mark is just the person who decided that if you go on ONLY ONE date with him that you have to be his girlfriend no matter what ? Even if you didn't like him very much or at all. ? Then on your second encounter with him instead of bring friends he rapes you instead.

[@giamukbaniani3320]

[@schmidt640]

I think a lot of what made this series hard to watch was Ray's interactions (or lack thereof) with his family. Just like in the first series, many of the scenes dealing with Marty's infidelity and his deteriorating relationship with his wife and daughters are in no way enjoyable. I realize they are not supposed to be, but it adds a layer of discomfort that is hard to deal with. Ray's issues are so over the top that to call it cringe-worthy is the understatement of the century. Just an observation.

[@Armintanzarian23882]

I think it’s great. If you have not been trough anything like that, it’s normal that you feel like that
