Crescent City

Don't actors read the script before they sign up for a project? I can't believe actual famous people with viable careers volunteered for this and weren't under duress.

The basic plot is like someone was playing police thriller serial killer mad libs. They took pages from The Wire, from Se7en and a dozen other good movies, threw them in a basket and the first hundred pages they grabbed out became the final draft script. I have seen better from Eastern Europe.

If True Detective were a Hyundai Genesis, this is a 1989 Hyundai Excel. Remember those?

There's no logical explanation as to why the people are doing the things they are doing or why they even still have jobs?

But in the end, this hot mess is to absurd that it's actually entertaining. If they hadn't taken themselves seriously, this could have been Scream.
