Orphan Black Season 2 lived up to the billing even though they really danced around some of the storyline toward the end. Still some of the best acting by Tatiana. A few scenes where she just wowed me having to play multiple clones in unique situations). Finally I get some wow factor in a season finale with two surprises to keep me looking forward to season 3.
True Detective. I think Woody Harrelson did an amazing job in his role. Someone in the makeup department deserves and Emmy for the 1995 version of Martin. Matthew McConaughey kind of left me annoyed with his character. Not the acting itself, that was fine. More like the annoying self-righteous douchebaggery spewed for the majority of the show. Every time Martin would flip off or ask Rust to shut the fuck up, I was right there with him. Not because of his take on religion, his take on everything. Although the last two episodes and especially the very end I found myself not completely wanting to push his character off a bridge, onto a bed of cactus. While I found the end of the final episode somewhat enjoyable, the crime aspect of the show ended very weak. Everything just felt anti-climactic, a cliche of cop drama. Been there done that a thousand times. I am sure the artsy-farts in the crowd would say it was really all about the two detectives, relationships and ramble on to the point where they sound like a stoned 1995 version of Rust. Why the heck even have a single case if you just going to half-ass it in the end? Good show, no more, no less. Now go kill yourself if you disagree (Those who watched the show will understand).
