The first season of this show was truly enthralling. Great characters brilliantly portrayed. Dark story told at a perfect pace.
One episode finished and you just had to watch the next. Just brilliant.
Sadly having just watched the second, the opposite applies. Colin Farrell carries this show manfully but it's not enough. The characters are entirely dislikable so you don't care too much what happens. There's just too much violence and nastiness to really entirely get into this season.
They plot is pretty implausible at best; downright impossible to follow at best. It's incredibly confusing and difficult to follow.
However the worst thing is Vince Vaughan the reluctant gangster. Never have I seen such a wooden, stilted and unbelievable performance. Every scene he's in he just bores the hell out of you. I assume you supposed to root for him for various reasons but he's so bad in this you just don't care.
I sat through this bore fest because the first session was so good but please skip it!
