It seems the only reason you want to own this is the title - "True Detective: Season 2". If it were simply named "Fucked-Up Detectives", you wouldn't think twice.

You don't know the mind of an OCD: The boxes on his shelf would skip from S1 to S3.

Yea, like I said - it's because of the title.

I feel sorry for Criterion fans with OCD. That's a helluva investment to satisfy the OCD cravings for spine numbers.

I wouldn't place myself in the category of needing to buy everything just because it's part of a numbered series, but for something where there's a bad sequel or bad season if I like the other sequels or other seasons and own them I'd rather not have that gap.

There was someone in the Taken 3 thread (I think that was it) who said that he hated the movie but would buy it for completion sake. I honestly don't remember who it was, and it may be someone in this thread, but WTF man.

Re: True Detective -- The Complete Second Season -- 1/5/16

I don't own a lot of things that I really dislike. Certain things that I maybe don't completely love but like enough to own and some on the basis of stronger films within the franchise or seasons within a series. I doubt that I'm the only one who has the same mentality about things like that and again it's something where if I ever decide I wanted it I'd wait until I could get it cheap and wouldn't buy it right away when it's released for full price.

Well, if you're looking at Alexandra Daddario and Lili Simmons, yeah

For those interested, season 2 is only $17.99 at Best Buy

Amazon is also selling it at the same price, but they appear to be out of stock.

I own the 1st season and even at this price, I have no interest. I will never ever watch it again. I will be better off using the $17.99 for something else.
