Teaser trailer is so f***ing good.

Classic noir vibes.

Matthew Rhys so underrated can't believe it

In that premise alone sold me before the trailer

new trailer

a few more weeks until the premiere

tonight

Ayo the original a classic

in

Opinions?

Highly disappointed Pizzalazzo and Downey Jr. couldn't put something together. Also don't know why they used the original name for anything other than clout. As it is, it's great and I hope they take their time.

Facts not feeling it so far. Don't see how much more story they can tell without dragging it

Yeah even though he’s very hit or miss as a writer I would’ve liked to see Pizzolatto’s take on this.

That being said, I think Rhys works a lot better here than RDJ would’ve. Maybe it’s just cause I’m burned out by him as an actor since the MCU stuff, but I’m glad he dropped out.

I like it but also think it's still finding its footing in a lot of ways

season 1 almost over how we feeling about this?

all in all I dig it though I think it can be a bit heavy handed in some areas and could use just a tad more lightheartedness to balance out the depressing, morbid vibe...Rhys is great as Mason but also can't help but think of how Downey Jr. would have played certain scenes...anyways it's been renewed for a 2nd season so we'll see where this goes! Tonight's episode was one of the better ones

Sean Astin and others have been hired

@op just read season 2 starts tonight, where's the hype

my bad bro this show been gone too long lol

Matthew Rhys has a very uninteresting face but he’s a good actor

nah not your fault, haven't seen any promotion for this at all

season 1 was underrated and I'm hoping season 2 is even better. TV needs more noir and Rhys needs more recognition

good premiere

lmao i don't even remember saying this and i never ended up watching

I became a Rhys fan too after watching The Americans later that year. I gotta go for it

This s*** kinda nice and I'm not even a fan of old timey s***
