There’s too much psycho-therapy and support groups going on in Elementary, too much self-aware relationship discussing. I’m losing patience with it.

True Detective was very well filmed and acted although the plot was over-the-top gothic.

They were going to make a new season of True Detective, new characters and actors.

Did you watch The Bridge? First season, superb. It would have been best, artistically speaking, if they’d ended with episode 11.

All the acting was great, and as fine as McConaughey was, I would say that Woody Harrelson actually turns in a better performance than McConaughey in True Detective just as I would say that Tom Cruise was far superior to Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man.

The "straight" performer always has a much more difficult role, especially playing against the guy whose part is intentionally written to steal every scene.

The supporting cast was also outstanding.

I really like the idea of doing a complete new series every season. They apparently had some difficulties this time around; it's going to be airing late, and there will be more "big names" in this installment.

And I thought Woody Harrelson was excellent too. And they were great together.
