So for those who know me and have seen my previous articles, I've been incredibly upset with season 2 of True Detective with a lot of hatred directed towards the finale. Well with Show Me a Hero, HBO is back on track and shows what faith it has in David Simon and Oscar Issac. Check out the trailer below!

HBO has released the first two episodes and they are good but slightly difficult to follow. He introduces a number of characters that I have difficulty following. For example, Skip, played by J. Mallory McCree, experiences something at the end of the second episode that leaves me confused as to how he has ended up. I feel that over time, however, we will become more used to these characters and their story lines will become more developed but the clunky aspects of it were worth mentioning.

I also think that Oscar Isaac shines pretty well in these first two episodes although I want to see that moment when he breaks. He appears to have this "cool as a cucumber" thing going on but his acting chops will really shine when he breaks, which is bound to happen given the number of anti-acids he is drinking.

Alfred Molina deserve mentioning as he plays the smug Italian politician quite well, with the toothpick in his mouth and his hair greased up. I see a little but of Donald Trump within this individual, which brings me to my last point about this show.

It is incredibly relevant. From the promises Nick Wasiscko makes to how taboo and difficult race politics is to discuss, this show needs to be studied by current politicians and people who are going to vote currently. It shows how gullible voters can be and how angry they can get when a promise that has been made isn't kept for one reason or another. I just see a lot of this show reflected within the politicking that is going on today.

I also just want to talk, briefly, about episode 8 of Mr. Robot and for those who haven't watched it STOP READING! *Spoilers*

Sam Esmail is an intelligent man. From the beginning, I suspected that Mr. Robot wasn't real but he showed us episodes in which Mr. Robot was interacting with Darlene and Romero without the presence of Elliot. Then I figured that he did exist and once it was revealed that he was Elliot's father I just thought Elliot was sick. Little did I know how sick he was.

This episode had a fantastic twist that is difficult to pull off in the age when everyone can usually see what's coming. Esmail did pull it off and he did it quite well. So kudos to you good sir! I am looking forward to the finale with trepidation because this show is not a happily ever after type of show. Someone may die or end up in jail but I will definitely stay tuned to see who it is.
