For the type of series, True Detective, it's ok, there is potential for it to be good, but for the type of show, I find there is not enough anticipation built from episode to episode...not moving fast enough..

I find its very slow moving, right up to the last scene almost - which usually peaks your interest for the next episode. Especially the last one, episode 3. However, I love the show and its pace. I love the dialogue and interactions. While slow, I enjoy every conversation. Just nice to have to have a show that isn't trying to knock your socks off with action or over the top acting, while still building suspense in the case.

True Detectives gets a huge MEH from me. Watched the first 2 episodes last night and it had a hard time keeping my attention. Too much dialog and character building to start a series. You have to give something to the viewers in the first few episodes to keep them wanting more. This show hasn't done that for me.
I seriously question if anybody would be talking about this show at all if McConaughey and Harrelson weren't starring in it. It takes more than just A list actors to keep me entertained.
For the record I never had a problem with the pace of Breaking Bad. They did a great job of mixing action and character building.

However, expect things to really pick up now. Only 5 episodes left and they left off on a major case break.

Update:
I've been watching Brotherhood (recommended by Viper). I'm two seasons in and really enjoying it.
I'm also 3 seasons into Breaking Bad ... love it ... and I knew I would.
Started watching Orange is the New Black ... its OK ... entertaining ... but it isn't the typical style that I like (Breaking Bad, Sopranos, Brotherhood, Justified, Strike Back, etc.). I'll watch it to the end of Season 1 and then decide.
I have House of Cards ready and waiting ... will finish Brotherhood first. I still haven't watched Homeland yet ... so lots of good stuff to get to still.
I'm really finding that I prefer to watch a series all at once (on bluray or download) instead of waiting for each weekly episode. I purposely didn't jump into the middle of Breaking Bad and waited for it to be over before I started watching the series. That was also a case of not wanting to watch it in SD as we don't get AMC in HD ...although I heard we were supposed to.

Yeah I find I like to binge watch a series, keep watching if it leaves off on a cliffhanger etc. Tempted to do it with True Detective too - but you run the risk of spoilers along the way, so its tough. Watched the first 2 seasons of Game of Thrones in bulk - then season 3 was painful to watch 1 hour a week and wait.

Anyone have feedback on the Americans. It's about Russian spies living as an American family. Was released yesterday and looks good but want some feedback before I pick it up.
And the movie " Ain't Them Bodies Saints" starring Casey Affleck. Anyone see it ?

House of Cards Season two came out Friday. In typical Netflix Style, all episodes came out at once. I've watched the first four episodes, but really want to get it done to avoid spoilers. If there is another twist anything like the one halfway through the first episode, I don't want it ruined.
