You can pretty much skip season 2 of fnl.
It's terrible. I second what tommy said. The direction was amazing.

Also, worried about it not being all directed by one guy much more than i am about specific casting. Fukunaga's direction was a HUGE part of why the first season was as good as it was, having everything directed by one guy assured the entire season would be stylistically coherent. Removing him is already a minus, and then splitting the directorial work between several people might make it even worse. It would only give the show more of an exquisite corpse feeling
:leon:

Lin should stick to direction F&F movies and paintball episodes in Community. He hasn't shown anything as a director other than being able to stage action sequences.

This is setting up to be a dope potential noir scenario judging by the plot points discussed. I wouldn't be suprised if the whole look and pace of the show is totally different.

with these decisions isn't it entirely possible that they're going to take season 2 in a completely different direction tho? that's what i'm expecting/hoping

different direction sure

but what Tommy said still applies, Lin's strong point is action not drama. but maybe they'll have Ferrel chasing Vaughn in a tank down the LA reservoir, that would be dope as fuck

the actors are cool but i'm curious what girl they're going to get to show her tits to compare with the season 1 debut from alexandra daddario. They're going to have to keep that tradition.

I read a feature on the writer/creator/plagiarizer a few days ago, he came off like the most pretentious douche on the planet. I don't think there's any way the second season lives up to the first.

Wanted to buy it, then I realized I have HBO Go and there isn't really a reason to ever cop a HBO box set again.

May not always be the case. I was watching a show on HBO Go a few days and noticed in the show description it read, "show will expire on December 31, 2014." I know Showtime Anywhere has expiration dates on their shows, too.

Shit bummed me out too.

Here's the article I mentioned, where he comes off like a total dickbag.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/t ... son-723406


That cover photo where he's sitting on an overturned motorcycle is almost enough to make me not like him on it's own. Throw in his "I think I'm a tough badass" leather jacket with the patch on the back (what club you in, bro?) and it's a wrap.

I'm cautiously optimistic for season 2, I just don't know if dude has it in him to live up to the first one. Him sucking doesn't make me like his work any less.
