Finally got around to watching the first episode of that "True Detective" show. Honestly, it's kind of ridiculous. All that philosophizing. Like a parody of hardboiled cop dramas.

In case anyone missed this week's "Justified", Walter Goggins (aka Boyd Crowder) had some excellent scenes.

I also liked the BB gun scene:
Cyrus: "Ahhh! You almost shot me in the eye!"
Duffy: "Yeah, I missed."
(pumps gun again)

Watched the second episode of "True Detective". While it still feels like derivative Wacko Serial Killer business plus ridiculous fake-profound philosophy, it did have a nude scene with Alexandra Daddario. God. This show is worth watching just for her.

I'm pretty sure there's never been a more jarring tone shift between shows than tonight's True Detective and Girls.

I'm watching House of Cards now. I feel like Kevin Spacey is part of what makes it good, but also completely prevents it from being great. Does that make any sense?

There is obviously nothing wrong with this premise, but I swear Spacey sets off my gaydar.
