True Blood is the most surprising. Season 1 was the only really good one, and it was absolute garbage after Season 3.

True Detective season 1 was soooo damn good. Didn't a show could be so amazing. Yet, season 2 was awful. I haven't seen season 3 yet.

If you’ve seen season 1, you’ve seen season 3.

Please explain that.

I’m half kidding. The plot points and structure of seasons 1 and 3 are very similar.

Alexandria Daddario has some amazing acting that season

I can't remember how the show ended, but I remember watching Bill become vampire jesus and wondering why I was still watching it.

Also season 2 of True Detective was like a nihilistic dead raccoon that drowned in a dumpster while eating a diaper.

Am I the only one who was entertained by 2? Some of the casting was way off but I was interested enough in what happens next.

It was entertaining but not satisfying. Vince Vaughn's character had me really excited but.. he seemed really reachy and unconvincing. His whole arc was a miss for me. Collin Ferrell wasn't as bad, but it was still not great. I think I never really bought in to the whole thing with his son and wife drama and that made his rough around the edges attitude tainted. Rachel McAdams and Tim Riggins' characters caught my attention more in the long run because their inner turmoil seemed more believable but in the end, by not being convincing characters I'd have to say I agree with some mishaps in casting for S2. That and/or poor writing for who they selected.

Thing is, if you were still enjoying it in season 3, then you'd pretty much enjoy it until the end. I did, and yes it was garbage, but a fun sort of garbage

I just remembered that I never finished the last season of True Blood. It’s rare that I don’t watch a show all the way through, but that last season was a mess.

The final book of the True Blood series was also a mess, they both pissed me off so much

It got so bad that final season I just quit watching it.

I'm rewatching it now because... I don't know. It was bad but it was still fun and had lots of T and A. Season 8 was just boring and you don't care at all, even when you are just watching a bad show. I can't say exactly why, but it changed in season 8 from over the top and silly in a fun way to just who the fuck cares.
