Dont worry, I liked season 2 as well! I dont know what people were complaining about :lol:
Cary Fukunaga left after season 1 of TD so he had no creative input for season 2.

Now I'm not sure about either one of you!
Cary was still listed as exec producer for S. 2 (as were Harrelson and McConoughy). Though I don't how much, if any, input they actually had or provided.
It received decent reviews 2 years ago though, so it wasn't universally hated.

^I know Cary Fukunaga wasn't involved with S2 like S1 but I still felt the need to mention S2 because it got some pretty bad reviews and I felt like some of them were overkill. It wasn't the ****-show some made it out to be (imo) and actually had some really good moments and touching performances.

It just wasn't season 1 which is treated like a masterpiece in some circles.

Another from tonight in Stockholm (July 1, 2017):

^He has a very good eye and has taken some beautiful shots.
I wonder what type of camera he uses.

A few more (grainy) stealth shots from today at Gröna Lund (July 2, 2017, Sweden):

I think he uses his camera phone so probably one of the iPhones. I have friends who are pretty good amateur photographers and they use iPhones because of the cameras. I do think he's a good photographer.

Pretty sure Alex has the big iPhone 7 so the two camera feature helps. Also most of his pics have filters on them which helps giving it a more hi def and professional camera quality feel. Alex takes beautiful pics!

You are right, I forgot Cary was exec producer. However, the gossip I read was that Cary and Nic, the writer/creator of the show butt heads a lot during the first season and parted ways in a not so great way. So I doubt Nic let cary have any creative control during the second season. Season 2 was definitely not "must watch" TV but I thought it was entertaining enough and I watched the entire season. Just read of Celebitchy that a season 3 might be underway with Mahershala Ali!

Today was Mama My's 61st birthday! I hope the Skarsgard children did something nice for her :)

^ hmmm season 3... HBO changed some of it's top management not too long ago and true detective was a part of the old guard, will be interesting to see what a third season looks like. I think season 2 was a bit of a ratings loser so Nic P might not be given quite as much creative leeway... not that that's a bad thing.

Executive producer credits can mean a lot of things... sometimes it's less an indicator of active creative input than giving recognition or appeasement for something, I think it's still in the credits because of whatever deal was struck in the beginning of the show. Reading up on how the show got going... it was very much organized by their management company, it wasn't something that happened organically.

From the interviews I read Fukunaga was only ever going to be involved in one season and he was quite explicit about his zero involvement in season 2. The stories of conflict between Nic P and fukunaga were sort of confirmed... at least that's my interpretation from the way they both responded to questions about it... I can't recall many times people involved in a alleged spat responded the way they did.

Am I the only one who didn't care for both season 1 and 2? It's no diss on fukunaga... he's very talented and he's headed for great things but I found True Detective tedious... and this comes from someone who usually likes dark, knotty dramas.

Skarsgard and Fukunaga seem like they might be a good fit to work together, definitely won't object if it happens in an upcoming project.

Oh, I really liked S1, even with its flaws it was very easy to watch.
And now they're thinking of having a S3 and they want to bring in super producer David Milch, so it might mean more control over Nic P. Plus Mahershala Ali is rumored to be in talks to star, so that's got me more interested than I might have been otherwise. But it's also possible that the first season was lightning in a bottle and they can't recapture it as a TD series, no matter how hard they try, or how talented the crew. Something that I hope those who talk about a 2nd season for BLL remember.
But yes, I wold like Cary and Alex to work together on something.

And I hope that My had a wonderful birthday!
