God this show is glum. Not even "dark"—just completely bereft of humor. In real life, even (especially?) in grim times, people do and say funny things. A little comic relief would go a long away.
That said w/ the Danny stuff resolved I didn't expect to get into this season, but they've put together a tight plot and the acting is excellent across the board. Leguizamo is a pleasant surprise and I'm digging the Cape Fear vibe

Low point of every episode remains the titles with that godawful song, specifically when the words Norbert Leo Butz appear over time-lapse thunderstorm

I enjoyed the second season but then again I am a sucker for slow burning noirish crime dramas

I did think the bit at the end with Kevin killing Marco was a bit much though. Did he think that this would save John and Meg or did he just panic?

he just panicked
― sarahell, Friday, 22 July 2016 15:47 (seven years ago) link
I thought that was the case but it seemed very out of character as Kevin hasn't been violent before if I remember right. Great show overall though, very atmospheric

Can someone clarify something for me, having just finished season 1? the first few episodes lean pretty heavily on a flash-forward scene of John dragging Danny through the swamp in striped seersucker suits. At about episode 8-9 you see that the suits are for Meg's wedding but Danny dies and Meg doesn't actually get married. Did I miss something major (like a whole episode!!) ?

cancelled, from what I read....did season 2 end on a cliffhanger?
― akm, Sunday, 6 November 2016 18:46 (seven years ago) link
It's been cancelled after season 3.
― Acting Crazy (Instrumental) (jed_), Sunday, 6 November 2016 18:49 (seven years ago) link
We chained eight episodes of season three yesterday - the bent coroner is straight into the pantheon of great minor characters.
I hope the cancellation doesn't mean they haven't brought the whole thing to a satisfying conclusion.

First half of the last series was quite good but those final episodes were a complete crock
― paolo, Monday, 16 October 2017 08:47 (six years ago) link
I enjoyed the bleakness of the conclusion well enough but the second series had clearly set a number of plates in motion that they weren't able to resolve in time. I got the distinct impression that a number of plotlines had been very hastily rewritten once the series was cancelled - characters just suddenly keeling over and dying or shooting themselves in the head etc.
