I'm still watching, still enjoying it, but this pivot toward a corporate conspiracy could be a let down. We'll see.

The Max app has been a pain in the ass lately, has anyone else noticed that?  Slow to load, and often times won't load.  None of the other apps are as problematic.

Agreed.  I really dug the most recent 2 episodes. Some creepy horror vibes and some good "all these people are terrible" character development. I'm worried and the corporate conspiracy angle but hopefully it's more of a cover up for some really creepy crap going on.  We'll see.

I'm watching it through my amazon prime app. Much more reliable interface.  You can enter your HBO or Paramount etc subscription info into it and it comes right up on there.

Eh. I guess it wasn't a

behind everything.  It's easy to completely dismiss the ultimate storyline based on that but, given the subject matter, it's not an entirely implausible scenario.

yeah, i've heard great things about season 1. actually started watching the first ep this morning. so far it's woody & mcconaughey pretty much playing themselves but i'm sure it gets better. 

finished season 1. it was really good...not the best season in the history of television i see some people claim...but really good. i've never been a mcconaughey fan so maybe that's what kept me from liking it more. on-screen woody pulls some serious tail in this one. :lol:  his wife is waaaay out of his league...and then you have him railing the perfect boobs bro-ad & the f me in the arse bro-ad who are even more out of his league.  it's kind of laughable...but it's only a tv show...i get it...and we got to see them nekkid so everybody wins! 

 

i've heard bad things about season 2 & barely anything about season 3...so idk which season i'll start next.

I felt like the Season 1 finale was a letdown.   

Don't even bother with Season 2. 

Season 3 was decent and is related to the story from Season 1

Skip season 2. Season 3 was solid. I thought season 4 was really good.

Season 4 could have been REALLY good.  Should have been 8 episodes.  Ending felt pretty cheap too.

Think I'll re-watch season 3 sometime soon.

I was definitely not a fan of that ending.  This season started off so awesome too, and I thought this story just fell flat.  I didn't really care that much towards the end.

It's not the worst show ever made, it was just a big relative step down coming after season 1.  It does have a really good shootout scene a la the meth house raid from season 1.

It was just.... Forgettable.... 

It lacked the tension and mythology of Season 1. 

It just felt like a bad 90s crime movie drawn out over 8 episodes.

Late to the game here but man they can never really end these seasons right can they?  It wasn't awful. But a disappointing after a promising start. Probably my favorite season after 1 but it and 3 are close.

One of Season 2's biggest problem is the first episode does the worst job of setting the scene I've ever seen in a major series, it just throws all the major characters onto the screen, their back story is either the barest sketch (Farrell, Vaughn) or ignored (McAdam, Kitsch) and it just doesn't draw you in at all.

Season 4 started strong but then leant way too hard into the mystical crap and relationships, it's supposed to be a gritty police procedural and instead it was like a really dark reboot of Northern Exposure only instead of kooky Alaskan eccentrics the towns population were murderous drunken racists, venal corporate shills and stoic mystical inuit women. The resolution just sort of arrived and it was a big old cop out.

I was unable to finish season 2, it just got to weird.  Loved Season 3 and just finished 4 which was OK but not as good as 1 and 3.  I would re watch those 2.
