I first saw this few years back. Revisited it recently.
This review of mine is for the entire second season.
The second season takes place in California n follows three detectives (Colin Farrell, Rachel McAdams n Taylor Kitsch) who r investigating the murder of a city manager.
There is also a parallel investigation by a nefarious businessman (Vince Vaughn) whose life savings were stolen when the murder took place.
Some may complain that it is weaker than the first cos of its convoluted plot but the psychosphere ambiance is repeated once again very well along with solid acting n both the seasons hav an eeyorish feeling.
This season has dealt with the psychosphere of the elite occult, their fetishes n abnormalities n can be upsetting for some viewers.
I loved the second last episode of this season so much that i reviewed the second last episode individually.
The last episode of this season is almost like a feature film n is reminiscent of Michael Mann's Heat with tension n suspense throughout.
The performances n direction is top notch n there is some good amount of action.
The broken characters r portrayed amazingly by the lead characters. The relationship between Colin Farrell's character n his son, the background story of Vince Vaughn's character and his daring attitude, the character of Taylor Kitsch, everything about this entire season is mesmerizing. The characters are all very broken n tortured souls.
Kelly Reilly is looking very illecebrous with her smokey eyes.
