True Detective -- The Complete Second Season -- 1/5/16



True Detective: The Complete Second Season Blu-ray will give “fans a chance to go behind the scenes with a new star-studded cast and to dig deeper into the mystery of Season 2. Both box sets include exclusive, never-before-seen bonus content including a 30-minute look at the production of a pivotal shoot out scene in episode 4.

The digital release will cost $22.99 and $29.99 HD, where available. The Blu-Ray will set you back $79.98 and the DVD costs $59.99.

“Season 2 stars Colin Farrell (Golden Globe winner for In Bruges) as Ray Velcoro, a troubled detective whose allegiances are torn between his masters in a corrupt police department and the mobster who owns him,” reads the synposis.

“Vince Vaughn (Wedding Crashers) portrays Frank Semyon, a criminal and entrepreneur in danger of losing his empire when his move into legitimate enterprise is upended by the murder of a business partner. Rachel McAdams (Midnight in Paris) plays Ani Bezzerides, a sheriff's detective whose uncompromising ethics put her at odds with others and the system she serves.

Taylor Kitsch (HBO's The Normal Heart) portrays Paul Woodrugh, a war veteran and a highway patrol motorcycle officer, running from a difficult past and the sudden glare of a scandal that never happened.”

The Blu-ray and DVD will include the “Making The Vinci Massacre,” an exclusive and detailed 30-minute look at the production of the pivotal shoot out in episode 4 and a behind-the-scenes look at the production featuring interviews with the four stars.

Put in your BD pre-orders now!!!

Lame how the only extra is a featurette about the shootout that everyone who watched it weekly hated.

I didn't hate it as much as I just didn't care what happened.

Re: True Detective -- The Complete Second Season -- 1/5/16

Somebody here needs to Photoshop some quotes onto the cover like :

"2015 was also the year we said goodbye to True Dectective, though it's still on the air" - Andy Samberg - Emmy Host

"This season was a mess — a mess that had moments, and some good performances, but still a mess" - Alan Sepinwall - Hitfix

"What a waste. Hadn’t these people suffered enough?" - Andy Greenwald - Grantland

"“He did ‘True Detective’ Season 1, and so anyone who saw ‘True Detective’ Season 2 knows how talented Cary is.” - Ben Affleck on Cary Fukunaga

The only reasons I'd buy this are if it goes on sale eventually or if the third season is good I'd want to have them all for the sake of completion since they're labeled as seasons and I wouldn't want gaps even though I know the seasons aren't linked.

Please tell me this is a joke. You'd buy something you don't want because it happens to be sandwiched between two things you do want?

Don't do it man. Don't do it.

Only if its eventually priced low enough in addition to the next season being good. I'm a bit OCD with stuff like that.

As one of the many who watched all 8 weeks this past summer on HBO, I say forget owning season 2. If you still haven't seen it, just watch it on HBO Go. It's not worth owning no matter how cheap it is. Zero replay value.

Live dangerously. Only buy the things you actually want.

Never watched season 1, but heard so many people rave about it. I watched a few eps of season 2.

Season 1 is a self-contained 8-hour movie. I've watched it three times.

With the same writer, director, and cast over the course of an 23 year timespan structured like a novel and shot on 35mm with exceptional production values.

That said, I have depression, so be warned, it does not promote a positive view of the world .

For shows whose seasons are linked between stories and characters, I can understand due to continuity issues... but these seasons are self-contained - they stand/fall on their own. You don't need to watch both, never mind own both.

It seems the only reason you want to own this is the title - "True Detective: Season 2". If it were simply named "Fucked-Up Detectives", you wouldn't think twice.
