I have been at all the posts talking about how great this episode was.This episode was decent because it was the most focused, but it still wasn't all that great. You guys sound like people who were fed shyt sandwiches for a month and got to eat rotten apples for week five but it tastes like filet mignon by comparison.
All those scenes with Frank and his wife... All the Riggins scenes...
HBO should have stepped in before filming and based the show on McAdams' and Farrell's characters ONLY.
This season has shown that Nic Pizzolatto should not be given free reign to run a show. He needs someone around to curb his more self-indulgent tendencies and tighten up his scripts.
