But along with the praise came rumors that he and the show’s creator, Nic Pizzolatto, never got along during the making of the season. Fukunaga never intended to take the directing reins for season two of the anthology series, as it moved to Los Angeles to focus on the shady dealings of city officials, police, and the underworld. Though he did stay on as an executive producer. But Fukanaga can’t escape the “True Detective” questions. And it turns out he still hasn't gotten around to watching season two. Kevin Winter/Getty “They finished it right when we started [‘Beasts of No Nation’],” Fukunaga told Vulture in late September about why he hadn’t watched season two yet. “I like to binge-watch.” So last week, we asked Fukunaga if he’s binged it. “I have not,” he said. He’s not curious that Pizzolatto supposedly based a character on him this season? “No. Not really,” he said. “And me not watching it is not a statement. I haven’t had the time.” But he did have time to check out the newest original comedy series on Netflix. “The only think I’ve binged is Aziz Ansari’s 'Master of None,'” he said. “It’s great.” NOW WATCH: A team of surgeons gave this little boy new hands See Also: Everything you need to know about the 'Rocky' franchise before seeing 'Creed' Why 'Creed' is a strong contender for this year's Oscar race 'Creed' is the perfect 'Rocky' sequel, because it's totally different SEE ALSO: "Beasts of No Nation" director Cary Fukunaga talks Netflix's mysterious streaming numbers and more By Jason Guerrasio MailTribune.com By Jason Guerrasio Posted Nov. 26, 2015 at 12:03 PM » Comment or view comments   Reader Reaction »  STAY INFORMED   Email NewsLetter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
