HBO's unwillingness or inability to get one strong director to do the whole season has hurt this more than anything else this time around IMO. Is the story less interesting? Sure, by far. Is the acting not as strong? By a mile. There are other flaws too. But one strong director could've unmuddled this, bringing a vision and depth to this that is sorely lacking, helping get A acting rather than B- work, utilizing better camerawork (this season has been awful), and so forth. There is a reason every Scorsese movie, every Fincher movie, and so forth is strong. The director takes the written words, even if they're mediocre, and makes them shine. He takes Jesse Eisenberg or Jonah Hill or Steve Carrell and makes him an Oscar nominee.

These directors have sucked ***.

Most shows use multiple directors, I don't think that is the problem. It seems like the writing was rushed.
 
Like, I'm still enjoying the show. The last episode was entertaining, but it all seems super basic where Season 1 had a grand feeling to it.

This just seems like the most basic police corruption story possible.

Best thing about this season is Vince Vaughn's character's wife's boobs.

That disgusting hooker ginger?

Granted I've missed the last 3 episodes, so maybe she's gotten not disgusting for some reason.

It's State of Play.
 
Writers cant even let Ray's last voice recording be sent to his son. No love for the only character who made the show watchable.
 
I'm still confused by the details of the plot, even now that the show is over.

It was just so poorly written.
 
why did they insist every mumbles in a soft mysterious low voice. If i could have understood wtf they were saying half the time it might have been easier to follow.

On the plus side, Vince V is a lot better at drama than his endless lame comedies.

Uhh, what?

Vince V was pretty flat most of the show.
