Alright, now I have to see this.

1. True Detective was amazing

2. I respect Keg's opinion on things like this.

I thought True Detective lost some steam in the back half. It was just too...conventional, by the end, in my mind. Wheras Fargo never really let up at all. Good start to finish. And while I don't think Billy Bob Thornton's performance was on the same level as Matthew McConaughey's I did think it was an equally iconic role. As far as the series as a whole goes, I can't think of anything that would have made Fargo better. The cast was excellent, the plot was excellent, and the resolution was excellent. It really felt more like a 10-hour film than a limited series.

New television this good is a rare thing (hell, established shows this good are rare), and we've gotten it twice already this year.

Not even close, Billy Bob did a good job but he was doing his Russell Bell impersonation from Pushing Tin. McConaughey was on a totally different level of intensity and self immersion of the character and the nod goes to Matthew.

Never saw pushing tin. Never plan to.

I did say I thought the role was iconic (for television) but that it wasn't on the same level as McConaughey's performance. So it sounds like we agree there.

Mcconagheys overall performance was better BBT. True Detective started as one of the best ever, but then for some reason lost all of it's guts.

It opened a lot of avenues where the story would go and then left us handing with a lame last half of story line. It's like they fired half of the writers at the half point.

The final episode could have been 15 minutes shorter. They could have used that time to build drama instead of that lame ending.

Fargo was better start to finish.
