I like Farrel and Vaughn just fine, and I'm not really familiar with Kitsch.
Based on the first True Detective season, there's no way I won't give the second one a shot. I don't care who's in it, the writing was just that good.

I refused to watch 1st season because of Cheers actor.
The second season, if he ain't in, I'll watch.

At first glance that is disappointing. However, I definitely would have thought that upon hearing Matthew McConnehy (sp?) was in the first season. Prior to True Detective I really hated him. As it turns out, I really liked his character. Hopefully the same will happen with Colin Farrel. He was, after all, good in 'In Brugges'.

This reminds me of a friend I had in college that didn't like Genesis classic rock songs because at some point Genesis had Phil Collins in it, and Phil Collins much later made a song called 'Susudio' that he hated, therefore, he hated anything related to Genesis.

If after 'Natural Born Killers', Zombieland and even his 'Hunger Games' roles, all you see is 'that Cheers guy' ... then HE is not the problem.

Started watching suits (on netflix, like it a lot) and it is excellent. Can't stop watching. Though I do get tired watching those guys work 12 hours a day

Thou hast lost an eighth!
Sure, but wouldn't you have also have said yuck to Matthew McConaughey prior to seeing him in season one? An actor can rise above his origins.
And Colin Farrell has already done some good work — In Bruges was great.

Woody Harrelson was great in all those, but I like him most in Hunger Games as far as those films go.

No. I wasn't a big MM fan, but he did have movies like Frailty, Reign of Fire, etc.
Tbh, I was more skeptical about Woody Harrelson.
I really liked the character he played in No Country for Old Men despite how brief it was.

True Detectives season 1 was pretty good, though slightly disappointing with the ending. Woody Harrelson was actually pretty good, both characters were interesting and I think the actors did a bang up job. The overall feel and sense of mystery of the story was good and I'm looking forward to season 2.
I got tired of Suits after season 2 and a bit.
It felt way too samey in the end and while the hot girls kept my attention for a while, there's a limit to it

Gave up on the Strain - not very good at all. Shouldn't have expected more based on Guillermo's involvement. He's always been a hack and completely overrated to me.
Yeah, I've been watching it since the beginning, but I think last night's episode will be my last.
Whoever did the casting for that show should be blacklisted from televison. It might be the worst collection of actors I've ever seen.
It's a shame because the concept isn't bad at all.
Downton abbey is one of the best dramas I've ever seen.
Sons of anarchy has some good moments, but the biker plot gets old after a while for me.

Anyone watch Scorpion? Couldn't believe the plot holes, but it was fun in places. I'll watch it again next week. I didn't think Gotham was too bad; about what I expected.

I think the reason why the movie actor Harrelson agreed to play in an ambitious TV show was that he had become type cast to weird characters. This was his chance to prove again how good an actor he really is.
