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:

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.

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. __________________ “The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
