True Detective is shit. I did not consecutively watch seven episodes and go to bed at 2am last night.
yeah its as good as any film id say... HBO and SHOWTIME really churn out some brilliant shows. i was having this talk with the misses the other day.. why the fuck cant the bbc do anything decent...apart from david attenbough stuff all of there series are only 4-6 eps long... the fooking money they get off the public there is no excuse. think about it even if 3 million people dont pay the licence fee in the uk..which is way over the top as i dont know anyone without a tv set... but that leaves 60 million people that pay about £120 a year thats £720000000 quid to play with... im sure they could do 12 episode like every fucker else....
Sherlock is a prime example. My girlfriend talked me into watching it and although I think some parts were shit (sorry but the Moriaty character in that is shit) it was generally enjoyable and produced well. But 3 episodes a series? What the fook. Even feature length is still less than 5 shows.
True Detective will be interesting since the way the story is told it's not really geared up for a second season is it.
