they're not following on, its going to be a new pair of coppers and a new story. Strange greyhound/transport cultish things apparently.

That's probably the only way to do it. I hope it doesn't disappoint.

What the hell are we supposed to tell the kids?
Hope the new one avoids cartoon white supremacists. Every drama I watch seems to have OTT stereotypical knuckleheads, with absurd swastika tatoos. Ok there are some fellas of this loathsome type, no doubt, but the purpose they seem to serve in drama is you can wish for them to be shot by the forces of law and order and not feel like a Nazi yourself.
Perversely their depiction is a sort of discrimination.

Thus we become cheerleaders for cops with guns. But it's just TV I know.

The world needs bad men. To keep the other bad men from the door.

Along the shore the cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink beneath the lake,
The shadows lengthen
In Carcosa.
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
And strange moons circle through the skies
But stranger still is
Lost Carcosa.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
Where flap the tatters of the King,
Must die unheard in
Dim Carcosa.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead;
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
Shall dry and die in
Lost Carcosa.
- Robert W. Chambers,
Excerpt from "The King In Yellow", 1895

Let's just hope it doesn't have shit ending like the last one
Hard to know what to make of it. Just some faces over music, not so much as a snippet of dialogue. Could be really good, could be a let down. The real standout of series 1 was the character of Ruste. Not that the story telling wasn't all first rate, but Rustes nihilism was what edged the show for me.
The new series, from what little I've heard, doesn't seem interested in sticking to any kind of formula, so it will be interesting to see what direction it takes.

So many particulars. So many questions.
I thought it was going with hoodoo/satanism on the transport network, somekind of greyhound cult

What? The ending was great.

I've said it earlier in the thread but for me the ending was dissapointing in that I wanted to see justice to more than just the main nonce. Everyone at elms tree guest house or whatever its called 
got.
but the muted ending- the justice ruste and woody did secure- thats truer to life, and it is at least something.

I liked it too.. But I can see how some people might have been expecting a more "magical" ending...

I thought it was absolutely bloody awful!! The shitty voiceover buisiness when they finally found the guy. It didn't make any sense. It didn't tie up the story satisfactorialy for me at all.
And the last bit between the two of them at the hostpital was so bloody melodramatic I almost puked.
I did watch it in one hit on the way to Florida so perhaps I'd just had enough by the end!

Didn't recognise Rachel McAdams at first.
Nice atmospheric teaser, hope it's as good as the first season.
Weird GTA vibe as well (or maybe just me)

I wanted it to be grimmer! I thought what they found at the beginning pointed to far darker things than actually came to pass, hence my disappointment. If was just a bit of a damp squib for me.

Actually, having watched it again, McAdams is giving off a massive Clarice Starling vibe

it does give the impression this will be a team affair rather than a dynamic duo
basically half the rumours on the internet last year were big fat lies.

Game of Thrones on Monday, this in a couple of months, and in the meantime House of Cards, Agents of Shield and Daredevil to plough through.
Yeah, the writer said that really early on, but now it seems to be about corrupt cops and gangsters. Dunno if/how they'll intertwine the two.

from what I'm reading it looks like they've dropped any of the uncanny/semi spooky from the new series. Which is a shame cos that set it apart. America y u make so many fucking police procedurals
will still be giving it a go though.

That'll be a shame if it's right. Rust hallucinating flocks of birds shaped like the tattoos on the corpses, all that stuff. I loved those bits.
