Season 2 was a limping, yelping, flea ridden dog that laid down and died in the gutter while the rest of em had a shootout over its head

The odds of me watching TD3 is less than 10%. The showrunner is a hopeless mess, who can't understand why people didn't love S2 (I've read interviews). Unless the news of who (actors & writers) is amazing, I'm never going back.

And I would guess this includes over half of the viewers.

Season 2 sucked donkey balls. Didn't get past 2 episodes. No where near as good as season 1.

Yeah I never finished season 2. It was awful. Nothing redeeming about it at all. That was some truly bad acting.

Whatever they do to right the ship (season 2 was crap compared to season 1), they had better NOT lose the "dark plot" angle. I love that kinda stuff. The plots for both 1 and 2 are very much real life situations, and not many movies or TV shows are willing to dig that deep into the darkness of mankind. Keep it dark, just hire new writers.

For what it's worth, I thought Colin Farrell was absolutely FANTASTIC in his role. He did what he could with the crap story he was given.

Season 1 was just so good, I don't think they can replicate the impact of it.

But I will still watch.

I kind of forced myself to finish out season 2 based purely on loyalty from season 1.

I'm in the minority as I liked season 2. Looking forward to what season 3 brings.

Depending on the cast I'll give it a look-see. Season 2's cast was a giant red-flag but I gave it a shot, didn't work out. =p
