that oughta be interesting to see how that works out - who plays new main characters.
apparently ripper street DID in fact come back, as found 2 newer eps ON DEMAND. I couldn't get around to watchin'm just yet, but did thoroughly enjoy last / forst season of -- course this comin from someone who too, is entertained in watching Rick_&_Morty
i`m not sure that info is even available...might just be in the developmental stages....forget where i read it....
imo,that was 8 weeks well spent...authentic or not,gives you a sort of feel for old,rural ,depressed parts of louisiana and they really made it come to life(what an interesting place)....thoroughly engrossing and the final episode at that decaying home on the bayou was eerie,creepy(add your own adjective)...
every year i say i`m dumping hbo and they keep doing this kind of stuff....
became a bit maudlin at the end....but harrelson and mcconaughey were pretty fricking impressive....
What does it matter coming from someone who thinks reality television is high art?
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. He closed all the circles he needed too, and he left just enough darkness to keep us rattled. The perfect dessert was the final scene:
Rust: I tell ya, Marty, I been up in that room looking out that window every night here, just thinking?there?s just one story, the oldest.
Marty: What?s that?
Rust: Light versus Dark.
Marty: Well, I know we ain?t in Alaska, but it appears to me that the dark has a lot more territory.
...later
Rust: You know, you?re looking at it wrong, that sky thing.
Marty: How?s that?
Rust: Once there was only dark. If you?re asking me, the light?s winning.
The incredible detail that was found in this series is the stuff of legend. Instant fucking classic.

Not sure what show you were watching....show was good, but "instant classic" is laughable.....:mj07:
Show was slow as fuck the 1st 4 episodes, it picked up and finished well....solid 7.4 outta 10.
I'll have to watch it again. Sure, the finale was suspenseful but I was let down. Thinking back on it now maybe it was better than I originally thought. It still wasn't as good as I thought it would be though. I had high hopes. I'd give the series a B+ and the season finale a C+.
Great post:Yep:
Very well said....I 100 percent agree..........:00x15
"instant classic":mj07:
Again, your opinion is not given much weight. Try picking up a book and quit espousing your BS that shows like The Client List and reality TV are the best things going, and you might gain a little credibility.
IMDb score = 9.5
Did a quick search of some other heavyweight shows like The Sopranos, Game of Thrones and The Wire, and I couldn't find a higher rating. I suppose all of those people are delusional, too. Just stop digging yourself a deeper hole before your igloo falls under Chinese rule.
I thought the whole thing was brilliant. From beginning to end. I do however think it wasn't a good show for the ADD generation. It was slow, methodical and full of details that you really had to pay attention to or you would miss. I thought the writing and acting were both outstanding. The ending left a lot of things untied but IMO that's ok because it keeps people talking and allows them to interpret it based on how they feel about the show.
You and I have a similar take on this. Awesome, but methodical. The end was not neat and clean, but that's ok by me. I loved it, but can see how some action starved types would not. Was definitely surprised that Maggie and daughter weren't tied into it in the finale.
I grade it 5 out of 5. Others may have a different take than me, but that is natural since it is a matter of opinion.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!
:0008
Episode 1 - Great
Episode 2 - Loved it
Episode 3 - Okay
Episode 4 - Gets a little weird
Episode 5 - The end of the episode is awesome!
Episode 6 - Pretty good
Episode 7 - The ending is contrived and cliche'.
Episode 8 - Many things. The bit with the Sheriff is awesome. I hate the serial killer reveal. What a fuckin' baby. The moment in the civil war fort, while awesome - it is still a lesser villain. He's the guy? Really? How ignorant. The end of the episode with the two of them is okay - but really - all 7 episodes lead up to a shitty, fat, broke douche serial killer. Ugh.
All in all I liked it, but if I had stopped the series just before they enter "The house", I would have been better off.

Matthew McConaughey wants to return to his True Detective role
A third season ofTrue Detective is by no means a sure thing. HBO has an option for renewal, but has to give the official greenlight in the wake of season two?s less than favorable reception. Some might lay the blame on the fact that series creator/writer Nic Pizzolatto was left without his first season?s director, Cary Joji Fukunaga. Others might say it was missing a dash of McConaisauce.
Well, for those wishing to see the return of Detective Rust Cohle, there?s hope: Actor Matthew McConaughey recently expressed interest in reprising the part. In an interview on The Rich Elsen Show (via The Playlist), McConaughey spoke in detail about what it was like filming the series, and Eisen asked if he?d ever consider going back to the world of True Detective. With no hesitation and what sounded like true sincerity, the actor responded, ?Yeah, I would.?
