Yuck.
Farrell is only the first of four rumored leads to officially confirm his involvement with two other actors, Taylor Kitsch and Vince Vaughn, still in the mix but not confirmed. Kitsch would play another detective investigating “the bloody murder of a corrupt city businessman found dead the night before a major transportation deal” and Vaughn would play a shady businessmen at the center of the corruption.Um…yeah. Suffice to say, I won't be watching it.

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.

And Colin Farrell has already done some good work — In Bruges was great.

Tbh, I was more skeptical about Woody Harrelson.

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

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.

Made it 10 minutes into 'Gotham' last night … seems to have a good enough cast and production values … but failed to get me over the 'why the heck am I watching this AGAIN?' factor …

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.

I was wondering if downton abbey, sons of anarchy are any good. They have very good ratings but I know some people making fun of it.
And joker: knights of sidonia ?

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.
