you could make an argument that all that reflects a kind of wishful thinking on the family's part--avoidance of fate, wrongs forgiven, and all that.

xxp think Danny plays it pretty well on the edge the whole time before the tape pushes him over

I was pretty shocked by the check scene. I think that scene was designed to be shocking, and it wouldn't work if you think Danny is full snakeshark by that point.

xxp yeah i agree with that he doesn't like, have all his plans in place then even if he prob would be fine with selling some dope to pay off his debts. the check & the tape are what seals the deal w/him to not only take care of his biz but also do so while potentially fucking his family over by making them accessories after the fact

i liked the last two episodes of this and part of me kinda wishes they would just take the mini-series approach sometimes and let something be one and done.

hearing decent things about it, and while i'm sure the mechanisms involved in bringing flashbacks to the show will be deus ex machina as all hell i can't really complain about more ben mendelsohn, will check some of it out soon

It's exhausting. Same pacing as the first season. Watch the first two episodes and the last two episodes and you'll be good.

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
― paolo, Friday, 22 July 2016 08:36 (seven years ago) link
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?
― paolo, Friday, 22 July 2016 08:38 (seven years ago) link
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
― paolo, Saturday, 23 July 2016 10:24 (seven years ago) link
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.
