I just watched this entire show with Woody and Matthew McConaughey and have to say the majority of the show was AWFUL. I mean the writing, not the acting. The actors did what they could but sweet Jesus, the story was lame. In the end we end up with some lame jab at southern rednecks as the big bad villain banging his cousin in some bayou in Louisiana.
(spoilers)
The show had its moments like when Matt is forcing his ex-biker brother by gunpoint to head out to Woody's car with helicopters overhead but that was it. The other half was some lame attempt at drama when Woody's wife bangs Matt to get back at her cheating hubby. I felt like I was watching Walking Dead again. Fucking LAME.
Cons: Bad writing. Bad story. Bad script.
Pros: Damn fine acting on Matthew's part and Woody but even they can't pull together some half-assed script. I didn't buy for a minute that Matthew was some psychotic telepath with insight into Hannibel Lecter, oops.. sorry, I meant that Swampbilly what's-his-name.
The part in the swamp was also badly written: where the ex-chief of police is with Matthew and he is forced to watch a snuff film on his boat in the middle of nowhere. This is so that Matt can presumably "torture" him to reveal info on the case. He screams in horror when Matt shows him the kiddy porn film. I laughed at this part. No cop with that much experience is going to scream like his fingernails are being pulled out over some lame snuff video (even if it is an underage girl). Give me a f'ing break.
Will never watch anything again with those two.
