The problem for a lot of people will be suspending belief. After you only do comedy for a long time it is hard to be taken seriously.
I'm still 100% in. Two A list actors with the same writing as S1 is going to be enjoyable TV at worst.

I can't recall the article(s) but I remember reading someone from HBO or somewhere else saying the scripts for season two are crazy good

Blasphemy! In Bruges, Horrible Bosses, Tigerland, Seven Psychopaths, Fright Night, ect give me faith. He's just taken a lot of bad roles imh, even stuff like Minority Report, Recruit and most other movies he was fine, it wasnt his performance that ruin most of his movies
Have to agree with Astro. Vince Vaughn is fucking garbage.
Season one leads were both super solid actors who both had broad bodies of work.
Horrible choice.

Vince Vaughan is going to be the best part of this new season. Calling it now.

I could certainly see Vaughn pulling off a criminal, it's not a hard move from some of his comedic characters nor his Swingers character were they were a bit unstable to begin with. Not sure how great he'll be but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt until I see it in action.
I like the Farrell casting a lot, his In Bruges character was awesome and that should lend well to a True Detective type vibe.
McAdams so far I think is the worst unless it comes with heavy nudity :crossesfingers:

really comes down to how the characters are written, obviously MM had more to work with than Woody
Before 2012, it's not like McConaughey had Daniel Day Lewis's resume or something. He had some good flicks but take a browse through the imdb some time. With a couple notable exceptions, it's a dumpster fire from 94-2011. Harrelson less so but he's not exactly considered one of the great actors of our time. They came into this show on the upswing with 0 expectations. I think Farrell and Vaughn will be just fine.

Yep. In fact, it's probably WHY they cast him. The whole arc looks like it's practically written for his character:
I'm fairly excited about the second season but I agree it's got a lot of shadow to crawl out of. I actually have more faith in HBO's casting directors than I do in their writers or producers. Think about it, HBO's casting has rarely failed. Even if the woman does in fact turn out to be Rachel McAdams, I'll give the show the benefit of the doubt.GQ_sl said:
The one thing I'm absolutely anxious about is whether or not they land T Bone Burnett to direct the second season's music as well.
