    I enjoyed the first episode more the 2nd time I watched it, at least for me, it felt like it came together better. I thought that way about most of the first season as well.

    I had the desire to rewatch every episode in the first season the same week. Haven't had that same desire yet. Hoping that changes this week.

    I think if Rachel McAdams was Farrell's ex-wife, they wouldn't have had to introduce themselves in the final scene.


    Oops, I forgot that I stopped it with a few minutes left! :lol:

    Damn, I thought I was really onto something! :wink:

    Plus, neither one of them are ginger although Rachel has dyed her hair red before. You got to be natural to have a ginger kid like that.

    But the rapist could be a ginger! I'm a ginger and both my parents are brunettes!

    Well that was quite an ending. Not sure how I feel about it. Colin Farrell's character was definitely the most interesting. Seems kinda dumb that they would only use him for 2 episodes.

    to me it's not working with Vince Vaughn. His body language and tone is almost the same when he is trying to be a tough guy as opposed to when not. to me the way he is playing the character is pretty flat and dull. need someone more dynamic.

    Farrell was great and was my favorite character in this season.

    He survives. But then again, it's fiction. Unless you've got a vest, it's very rare that you survive shit like that in real life. There's a photo still of him and McAdams in a scene where he's wearing a huge bandage around his chest.

    Yeah in the scenes for next week one of the guys refers to him being shot, not being killed....so I assumed he would be back.

    Ahh yeah. That must have been some vest he was wearing to survive 2 shotgun blasts to the chest.

    Pretty sure I had a dream with that birdman in it last night.

    Why would he have put on a act when he discovered the body though?

    Also wasn't he sent to LA for the investigation?
    Oh wait. Colin Farrell said the house was in Hollywood right?
    Is Hollywood actually in LA? I'm not familiar with the geography of that area.

    But they showed him looking at the hooker boy outside from his balcony like he was thinking about going down to get some.

    Hollywood is a City in the larger area considered as LA, yes. (Even though I lived in/around LA for 20 years I actually cannot tell you if all of these smaller cities are technically considered LA or not...)
    Guessing where he was was West Hollywood or somewhere in that area if they had dudes out on the street like that so that could have put him in that proximity. Also thought it was strange that he shared his story about wanting to punch a guy that hit on him earlier. Guessing that is why he needed his blue pill to get with his lady.

    Really enjoying this new season.

    Seemed like a cheap plot device for Ray to get shot with rubber bullets, but I'm just glad his character wasn't killed or out for a few episodes as he's definitely the most interesting character.

    Yeah it's getting good. People need to stop comparing it to the first season.
