True Detective
Discussion
A decent vest would stop pretty much anything except rifle round or penetrator cores. Quite telling that the second shot was to torso and not to the head which is where it should have been.
Still, it was pretty stupid to let his guard down and holster his firearm when in a darkened room of a house he had just broken into.
That DeVille should have stuck out like sore thumb on that street. Not many left on the roads in that good a condition...well none that haven't been Donked to death

With the best will in the world it never works. Best bet is to not read the thread until you're up to date IME. Halb said:
Bean bags?
That was what I thought. Don't remember seeing any splatter and I'm sure they would have shown it.Edited by SWoll on Monday 29th June 22:33

I'm having to rewind some segments due to not understanding the dialogue, I thought it was the accents. The Wire was the same in places.
Yep, same here. Last time I remember having to do that was when watching Miami Vice (Also starring Farrell funnily enough), I ended up having to put subtitles on at a couple of points as couldn't understand a word.Still hopeful they can inject a bit of the originals humour into the show to lighten the mood a touch. I've got no issues with dark and brooding but at the moment this just comes across as clichéd for me, especially Taylor Kitch's character.

Yep! I was thinking GTA5.
One of the shots at the end, when they find the body, reminded me of the area in the game way outside the city and you can see the lights along the coast in the distance.
If you ever get the chance to drive around LA for a while, it's a surreal experience. One of the shots at the end, when they find the body, reminded me of the area in the game way outside the city and you can see the lights along the coast in the distance.
I did it the other way around, and whenever I played GTA5 got deja-vu. I knew where to drive, and the landmarks and roads were all where they should be, sometimes even down to a small level.
Of course, the game map and the viewable details are condensed, but as you remember the landmarks, everything seems real, and is almost a blur on reality.
Like this for example:

I appreciate that, I simply chose some picture of a coast road as this was and that the reality and game had a very similar 'look', with a slight erring towards the noir elements of the filming of TD.

Yes, actually they managed to make the game look very convincing, I should try it, since a while it is available on PC too, I was a big fan of the very first 2D GTA back in 1998!I appreciate that, I simply chose some picture of a coast road as this was and that the reality and game had a very similar 'look', with a slight erring towards the noir elements of the filming of TD.

Yup me too. In fact above 5 times and I still can't understand certain words. A bit too slow still, have to agree that I also have not been able to really like any of characters so feel a bit detached, unlike Rust and Marty. Still, get a feeling that the pacing will pick up fairly soon, quite possibly after that last scene.

When is the regular broadcast date/time?. I watch on NowTV so not sure if I am breaching any spoiler time frames.I usually just wait until others discuss the episode before chiming in which is what I did in this case. Sorry if it ruined anyone's viewing.
