5 Things We Know About True Detective Season 2

By Leave a Comment

True Detective was without a doubt the most intriguing, well written, well acted TV series of 2014. We don’t care that it didn’t win all the awards it deserved at the Emmys. One thing’s certain: True Detective is not for everyone and probably that’s why the awards went to more “accessible” series. The duo Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson is the best pair of leading actors since…the X Files’ Mulder and Scully. Now we’re dying to see the True Detective Season 2. Here are some official things we know about it:

1. True Detective Season 2 – What’s It About?

The first season of True Detective dealt with some pretty heavy stuff about the dark, hidden parts of human nature. It was about a serial killer who murdered his victims based on some occult, pagan rituals. All this combined with Matthew McConaughey’s character who was a nihilistic, depressed sociopath, made True Detective a TV series you didn’t want to watch first thing in the morning with your happy family. All that’s gone now, they’ve caught the killer, and we’re waiting for season two. There have been a lot of rumors and speculations regarding the story of the new season. Fortunately, the show’s creator Nic Pizzolatto has shed some light on this matter and made some official statements saying that the coming season is still dark, though not as dark as the first one. It will follow the lives of three detectives, two men and a woman, and it will revolve around “the secret occult history of the United States transportation system.” That sounds a bit vague but we’re certain Nic Pizzolatto won’t disappoint because he’s a brilliant writer. An HBO executive said that the writing of the new season is even better than the previous one, saying it’s “exceptional”. The shooting will start at the end of this year and True Detective Season 2 will premiere somewhere in the summer of 2015.

2. It’s Official! Colin Farrell Will Play Ray Velcoro, One of the Detectives

We’re so excited because we actually love Colin. He proved his acting skills in plenty of brilliant movies and we’re certain he will do a great job. Colin Farrell will play detective Ray Velcoro but more details about his role have not yet been revealed.

4. The Female Lead, Who Will Play Her?

True Detective Season 2 will feature a female detective too and the list of great actresses rumored to be playing her is growing day by day. So far the “official” rumors mention Rosario Dawson, Elizabeth Shue, Rachel McAddams and recently Keira Knightley was added to that list. Honestly, we love all of them but we’re not really sure who could fit in the role of a dark detective. We’ll keep you updated because probably these days they will make the official announcements on who will be the female lead in True Detective Season 2.

5. Who Will Play the Second Detective?

5 Reasons Why We Don’t Like Keira Knightley

5 Reasons why we don’t Like Keira Knightley

This is more like a response to the previous 5 Reasons Why We Love Zooey Deschanel movie post, which was just too adorable. Well it’s time for some amusing negativity now, revolving around one of Hollywood’s most debated actresses. Here are 5 reasons why we don’t like Keira Knightley and could never like her unless she decides upon a totally new approach. What kind of approach? Beats me.

1.   She is not convincing

5 Reasons why we don’t Like Keira Knightley1

Well it goes without saying that her acting skills need a little more practice. However she seems to get all the great parts and therefore earn millions and she even gets nominated for Oscars for being completely wooden! How come? And you can see she’s trying, but doing it all wrong, all the time. There are hundreds of young talented actresses out there. What are they afraid of when picking Keira Knightley for the 80th time? Don’t they know she will be the same? She always is, despite the character.

2.   She seems infatuated

I’m sorry t admit this, but she just has the most annoying accent. She should do something about it, and be able to hide it once in a while. This would definitely bring a pale of fresh air to her next role. I mean for Pirates of the Caribbean it worked perfectly, but come on now; she clings to it even when she has to play a down-and-out street girl like the one in Bend it Like Beckham. It’s like a constant Look at me, I’m so delicate message delivered all the time, 24/7.

3.   She has a chin problem

This is actually a highly discussed subject. This thing she does with the lower part of her face: she loves to jut out her chin whenever she has to express frustration or strength, or hard decisions in the face of a whatever overwhelming experience her character is going through. Well, all these “things” are called emotions, and an actor is supposed to actually recreate them inside of him. The jaw will eventually come out on its own, supposing it will feel compelled to do it

4.   She is pouting all the time

This pout thing is a secret weapon belonging to a lot of young girls looking for approval. They do seem more interesting, more involved and giving while doing this silly thing with their lips. The pouting however is more used than the chin thing. Well she’d use it on just any occasion she has something to express. The chin is for the hard scenes, while the pout is for the lighter ones.

5.   She is not a real actress

Well is high time she took up some acting courses, don’t you agree? Despite her parents being actors, Keira just seems to have skipped all acting courses she ever came across. She needs to learn how to be real, and convincing and how to really act out a situation. Everybody knows she’s not a professional actress, but with all her success she ought to improve her skills, at least for the sake of the public.

Nevertheless hopefully success didn’t go to her head completely. We’re certain that she is a perfectly decent young lady, and she is aware of all the comments people are making about her. Her being down to Earth was proved in this statement: “I completely agreed on every level,” said Knightley. “I didn’t go to drama school, so I didn’t get the training. It was difficult to get over that: ‘What am I doing? I’m pretending that I can do this and everybody’s telling me I can’t.’”  Please take up some acting lessons, Keira!
