True Detective - The season finally. I maybe in the minority but I actually enjoyed this season of TD. While no where as great as the previous season, that was like capturing lightning in a bottle. I think people were judging season two on what they thought it should be, instead of what it was. I enjoyed the dialog, with its constant use of metaphor and every now and again soliloquy. My personal favorite was Vince Vaughn as Frank, I like him more when he does serious drama. He nailed the ending of this, I kept hoping that he would make it. However when Jordan showed up in all white, I knew he laid down. Frank was relentless, almost like a shark. I was truly sadden with his fate. I thought that both Rachel McAdams and Colin Farrell were both better then I thought they would be. I've always enjoyed McAdams in most of her roles, but this was her best acting yet. The same with Colin Farrell, who I don't particularly like. He acquitted himself well here, it was a little shaky in the beginning but he found something in himself to really make Ray an interesting character. I thought the character made some really stupid decisions at the end and he could have gotten himself out of the predicament he was in, but oh well. The only character I didn't like and it was solely because of the actor. Taylor Kitsch just cannot act! The woods Ray character was running around in had more emotion and acting ability. They could have eliminated his character and I don't think it would have hurt the plot at all. I hope that TD does get another season, maybe set in Detroit or Camden NJ.
Face Off - This is without a doubt my favorite reality show. The reason, it doesn't have fake drama, the contestants are not megalomaniacs and think they are better then everyone else. In fact they usually go out of their way to help one another. Also its about designing and executing makeup prosthetic designs, whats cooler than that? One of the best parts is when Michael Westmore comes out and critiques the contestants work. He is usually always correct, in fact the winning team this week listened to what he said and followed it and they won.
