True Detective: Other Lives (2015)
It's gotten horrible
I just can't excuse the sloppy writing anymore. I feel like this season has failed in every possible way to deliver to their audience the sort of story people want to see come to life. Instead we're getting a very flat and blah story that has made me fall asleep more often than not.
In season one we had a strong story line with an enriched plot and great character development. In season 2 at the end of too many episodes we get this woman singing in the end that is mediocre music in a dull setting. I am so disappointed. This episode has cemented my commitment of giving up on the show. What a shame because so many things in this show could have worked well. Good acting but unfortunately even great acting cannot save a show with a horrible script.
Game of Thrones: Mother's Mercy (2015)
too many inconsistencies
What to say about this show... Well, I've read every 'A Song Of Ice And Fire' novel WAY before it became a show for HBO. I felt so much of this show has taken away things and placed them some where else outside of the novels. This can work well if it's done correctly. However, I don't feel that the creators of the show have done a very good job.
My main issue is how they've treated Stannis and his impeding death by Brienne. I found this to be horribly clichéd and overly foreshadowed. I somehow doubt very much that the same events will happen in the books. That's of course neither here nor there as I found the way they made it happen to be simply clumsy writing. Martin deserves a lot better.
I also hated the kill Jon Snow off plot line. I found it to be rather lame and made me question the intelligence of the writers for the show if Jon is indeed dead like D&D insist. You don't just kill characters left and right for the sake of it. Martin did it always to move the plot further.
