Series OCS on-demand
If there was need proof of the primacy of the characters on the plot, it enough to use that now has two seasons the series “True Detective” (what Americans call an “anthology”: a story and different characters every season but one author, NIC PIZZOLATTO here).
The first season, the plot blurred and frankly uninspiring, staged an apparently classical and even hackneyed duo: the two policemen are total opposites. Nothing innovative on display, everything would take to writing, to the strength and credibility of the characters of the past, the quality of actors Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in the lead, not to mention the mastery of the director Cary Fukunaga. Two magnificent portraits of men
No need to wait several episodes with the season 2, to cut to the heart unexpectedly. Discomfort moved from the first image (as related to the realization that . at acting), to leave us
The plot, however, based on a political and financial conspiracy was enough to seduce: a small casino owner, Semyon Frank (Vince Vaughn ) mortgage everything he has to invest in land that must cross a railway transcalifornienne; the financial spin is guaranteed, since the infrastructure will be provided later on the land along the railway. But Frank just handed all of its funds to the administrator of the city for this purchase when it disappears, before being found tortured to death. Where the investigation is going to develop over the eight episodes, bringing together three policemen played by Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch.
The set appears most often unevenly written, too implausible, even ridiculous, that this season is anything, at best, a series of more police. Such gaveur casual geese, NIC PIZZOLATTO are attempts to insert reflections “deep” in his script, but impossible to believe in the mouths of the characters involved! And what about the camera lingering on the painful regularly look of the characters, heavy vacuum actually plans worthy of soap operas afternoon.
“True Detective” on SCO: the eight episodes of this season are available until September 6
