I am struggling a bit with season 2 of Snowfall as its just not gritty enough. While I'm not bothered about there being no nudity,the fact that they dont show any of it and the swearing is quite mild detracts from the serious nature of the subject matter. FX do this with a few of their shows,some are ok with it not being too grisly but others suffer from that lack of realism.

To be fair Snowfall improves quite a bit after a few episodes of the second series.

True Detective Season 3.

 

Really enjoyed this. The plot isn’t quite as convoluted as the first two seasons and despite some recurring themes, the muttered philosophical musings are greatly stripped back too. 

 

Mahershala Ali is powerful throughout, particularly when almost lost to dementia in the third of the three intersecting timelines (1980, 1990 and 2015). 

 

Right up there with the first season for me, and even better in some aspects.

 

9/10.

Just to add that as I've watched most of the second series I've noticed that each episode was written by a different person and I think that hasn't helped. Walter Mosley wrote at least one and he's an excellent author but sharing the episodes out has made it a bit inconsistent in my view. Still worth watching though.

Isnt the easiest way to stop it to just stop being 'cyber?' Or is technology so ingrained its harder to give up than crack cocaine? And why are people so hard wired to give a shit what people on a computer they dont even know think of them?

In years gone past you’d see someone on TV and say ‘look at that cunt’ now you can call them a cunt from the comfort of your own home. 

 

(There’s a massive chance this is bollocks) I think it’s a cumulative effect, me telling you that you are ugly means nothing. 10k jealous people telling your you’re ugly must be tough. Then you get more and more successful and they get nasty. 

 

(I think you’re beautiful).
