I'm excited because season 1 was amazing, but you could say I'm cautiously excited. I was also put off by the casting (for me it was more Taylor
Kitsch; I totally believe Colin Farrell has the acting chops to pull a McConaughey), but I'm more concerned by the HBO head marketing guy saying this
second season will be "less dark" with "more action".
That, combined with the fact that season one was directed entirely by the visually interesting Carey Fukunaga, and this next season will be directed
by a bunch of different directors starting with Fast & the Furious' Justin Lin... well, that makes me less confident in the potential awesomeness of
a second season. Not to knock the Fast & Furious movies - they're fun, as was that Microsoft Surface commercial he directed - but he brings a totally
different aesthetic that I don't believe will be as mesmerizing or interesting as Fukunaga's. The first teaser is already a disappointment. But
maybe I'll be proven wrong! I know I was with the first season, which I thought looked dumb and boring. I was so wrong then, hopefully I'll be wrong
again.
