Seen the third episode now too. It's great.

I watched the first 2 episodes and dropped it. Its absolute shit.

I like Colin Farrel and a I like Taylor Kitch but they're both terrible in it. And if two actors I've seen do fine work before are failing with that material and direction what hope does a useless cunt like Vince Vaughan have? Its one of the worst scripts I've ever seen.

Shady

The writing has been very poor. Vaughn isn't great, but he isn't helped by some dreadful dialogue. Having said that, there's more than enough to keep me watching through to the end.

The lastest Hannibal was excellent. It's actually been a majestic run of episodes recently.

Klaus

I think both the acting and the writing has been pretty great so far. The 4th episode was probably the weakest so far but the shootout at the end was terrific. I usually can't stand Vaughn but even he has been pretty decent here. McAdams is stealing the show for me though.

Really enjoying House of Cards at the moment.

Agreed except I think Vaughan is fantastic. Finally Kitsch's character is starting to make sense too. Farrell's moustache is legendary.

People like Taylor Kitsch? He's one of the worst actors I've ever seen.

he was good in friday night lights tbf, but he had good material to work with.

Exactly. There is a good actor in there he's just making really bad career choices. I can't imagine any of the cast of TD this season expected it to blow up in their faces like this.

Taylor Kitsch has just had a massive pretty boy problem so far in his career, he fucked up and didn't get himself cast in "serious" Nicolas Winding Refn and Derek Cianfrance movies like Ryan Gosling. "Sure, I'll be Gambit in your shit-ass Wolverine prequel." "Sure, I'll be Tarzan in your Space Travelling Rich Man fights the Gungans movie."

He's still got time, luckily. McConaughey didn't lose the pretty boy problem until he was 40.

to be fair, he didnt exactly look like a pretty boy in Lone Survivor (even though he wasnt the MAIN character).. i do somewhat like him as an actor though

Yeah, I think his problem is that he doesn't have real movie star potential. He's an excellent actor but he was meant for other type of roles, not playing the leading man in ridiculous summer blockbusters. I really like him in True Detective.

Qwiss

He's ok in ridiculous summer blockbusters. He's just picked absolute shit to be in. Although I reckon John Carter wasn't as bad as its rep. Battleship on the other hand was.

Nailed it, in fact. He's not really an alpha leading man.

Shady

I only watched bits of FNL, but wasn't Kitsch an alpha leading man as Tim Riggins?

QuincyAbeyie

In the beginning maybe, his character got more nuanced (?) as the show went on.

Shady

I thought the lastest episode was probably the strongest of the season thus far. Writing and dialogue is still an issue.

Colin Farrell is definitely MVP. I actually think he should be in contention for an Emmy at this rate.

Today's episode was much much better, I thought. Season 1 feel to it.
