HBO Boss Talks ‘True Detective’ Season 3, ‘Deadwood’ Movie, ‘Curb’ Return – TCA

Pizzolatto, who is under an overall deal at HBO, has been working on other things, Bloys said. A third season will likely have somebody else writing, with Pizzolatto supervising, he said.

Let's just stop.

Let's just stop.

I agree. I only liked the first season. I was unable to watch the second season because it was that damn boring. they should of stuck with the original cast and made the story much longer. these people fukked it up. this can't be life

It's HBO and Pizzolato's fault season 2 wasn't up to snuff. HBO made him write it in a year while he spent years on TD season 1. Pizzolato for some reason hated Cary Fukunaga who is a fantastic director and was a huge part of why season 1 was so amazing. They should've made season 2 only have Colin Farrell's character and Rachel McAdams as the leads just like the first season focused on McConaughey and Woody. Too many random shytty side characters in season 2. Colin Farrell was fan-fukking-tastic though, in my opinion.

 

[The Phoenix]

Season 2 sucked. And I thought the first season was solid but WAY overrated. I wouldn't mind seeing a new writer take a shot though, and if the ball is dropped in the third season just wrap it up.

 

[CM_Burns]

S2 was very flawed and indulgent, but still more interesting than most hyped shows to me. I'm down for S3, but it's probably best to wait to get the right team together, even if it takes 2-3 more years.

 

[Tical]

Good. Better to get rid of Pizzolatto instead of scrapping the whole franchise.

 

[Moose_Greyjoy]

I think it would be dope to have a new writer for every new season.

 

[Ciggavelli]

well, this show has jumped the shark

Season 1 was amazing (thanks to the directing and characters)
Season 2 sucked (for all the above mentioned reasons)

I have very little hope for season 3. It looks like this was just a one and done type of show

Colin Farrell was the only redeeming thing from season 2

Well, there was no plagiarism accusations in season 2. So I don't know if they just dropped the ball, or if season 1 was good because they stole shyt.

They need to bring back Rust and Marty with a new writer.

Fred.

 

[Red Shield]

Fukunaga is a damn good director. Also season 2 threw too much at the well... it wasn't kept tight. Talked about what I would have done in one of the threads here.

That was like two.. hell maybe 3 different seasons worth of ideas crammed into one season

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

If they get Fukunaga back, then Pizzolatto can hit the bricks

 

[Recca Gatsby]

I think it would be dope to have a new writer for every new season.

I agree with this. And have Fukunaga in the fray

 

[wire28]

thata what happens with no ghostwriter. With that said season 2 was still a solid 7.5/10
