    Yeah I thought it was rumored for the fall.
    Gonna be hard to match up to season 1, lets hope they can come close at least.

    This weekend we rock Portland

    Maybe I'm a complete pessimist, but I can't imagine any season to come being as good as the first. I will certainly give it a try. They set the bar so high though.

    The one thing that bugged the shit out of me was the constant chain smoking that Rustin did throughout. Seeing whoever it was lighting up makes me think the second season will repeat that theme. Also, the 1994, Heat looking 19 inch tv that was behind Colin Ferrall makes me think it will be a flashback show like the first season.



    I hope someone gets the heat reference.

    I don't get your Heat reference but I agree with your first statement.

    My reaction to the trailer:
    1. Was that Gambit?!
    2. Colin Farrell has a kid-toucher moustache :rofl:

    Does anyone remember the Al Pacino/Robert DeNiro movie Heat from around 1995? When Al Pacino finds out his wife is cheating on him he say (and I'm paraphrasing) "you can sleep with my wife, you can read my newspaper, but you can't watch my mother fucking tv!" That's what that tv looked like in the trailer.

    I'm a little pessimistic too, Last12. Never been a Colin Farrell fan...

    Can't wait to see it but I just think it's weird that it's basically a completely different show. Seems minor, but I would think the theme song will be different too and I think that sucks cuz the song from the first season was fucking great and really set the tone for the show.

    I loved the first season, thought it was some of the best tv I've ever seen. I wasn't looking forward to this season when I saw the official cast announcement. Now that I have seen the trailer I don't think I will be watching this at all. Maybe I am the only one but I just can't see anything besting Woody and Matthew.

    I do think that them going in the way of the anthology format (i think that's what it's called) is better off than them trying to do another season as a progression of the first.
    For anyone who was into Broadchurch, it was a similar thing, contained story in 8 (?) episodes, but it was soooo popular they renewed it for another season. So the writers just extended the story, so of course many people considered the 2nd season a huge disappointment since it couldn't live up to the first season.
    I think doing a completely new story with new characters and closing the chapter on McConaughey and Woody is the best way they could have approached a second season. Interested to see Vince Vaughn. I'm a fan of Colin Farrell but I can't with that moustache :lol:

    The trailer certainly has my interest. Not expecting it to reach the level of Season 1. Doesnt mean it won't be good.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    My wife has never looked more badass. Nice to see her channel her inner Regina George.

    Wasn't bad. Mostly set-up. Hopefully it flows better from here. Colin Farrel's character is a fucking mess.

    Was ok. Could be entertaining but doesn't have that mysterious, religious, creepiness the first one did which made it so great. Also, following 4 characters instead of two may be a bit disjointed.
    That and Woody and McConnehey are way better actors than those 4.

    Feels a bit crowded. But we'll see how it goes.

    It's odd to me that the director changed but the original stayed on as a producer. The work he did with the tone of the first season was amazing. Why fuck that up?
