Saw the first 6. The fact I did it all in one watch probably speaks to the quality of the show! Show is still very good after Fincher steps away after the first two, but the show doesn't look as ~amazing~ as it does in the opening episodes. Do we know if he's going to direct at all in season 2 or is this like House of Cards where he just leaves it be? I don't really have much to say except I really like it, and the drop in, drop out gumshoe detective stuff works really well along with the big picture serial killer unit building stuff. Obviously, I'm assuming we're not spoiling so (real life spoilers) I'm assuming they can't catch the dude they didn't get until like forty years later in the first season so it's interesting they've got him in all the opens. I guess they get brought in to consult at some point even if they don't catch him? And yeah, in case it wasn't obvious the lead in this show is based off of the same real life dude that the protagonist in Red Dragon/Manhunter was based off of, and same for all the cold opens being the guy Dolarhyde was based off of.

Well I did notice that Dennis Rader features heavily in this shows credits on IMDB and the BTK Killer wasn't caught until the mid 2000s. Not sure if thats the guy you're referring to though. Not sure if we should use spoilers for things that happen in real life.

Spoilers for real life stuff and the show is fine in here, maybe spoiler tags for the first few posts for random people checking in.algebra testes posted:Saw the first 6. The fact I did it all in one watch probably speaks to the quality of the show! Fincher directed four episodes of the season. The first two and the last two. I'm upto episode 8, watched 5 in a row and two more before bed but I have to sleep. This show is very bingeworthy. I love the production value in this show, the soundtrack is fantastic and I'm racing to hit the 'watch credits' button at the end of every episode to listen to the music without it skipping after 5 seconds (GLOW had me doing the same). There is also a short, not very significant (mostly) scene at an airport carpark yet there are easily 50 odd old cars and vans in frame and another scene shopping on a pretty busy main street which all looks period correct. A lot of effort went into this.

I was forced into reading the book this show is loosely based off of in college as an elective course requirement. It actually turned out to be the most interesting thing I read my entire college career, so I'm all in on this. Liking the show so far, surprised there's already going to be a second season.

I love how it subverts the Grizzled Veteran Partner trope. It initially seems that Bill is going to be some hard-rear end unflappable guy that only wants to do things his way, but nope, he's quick to jump on board with this new thing they're doing. He's super open-minded.

It’s weird that there’s suddenly a 34 min long episode in the middle of the season. With the intro and credits taken into account that’s a real short one.

We just binged the first four episodes, and my wife and I loved it. I didn't even know much about this show going into it, aside from Fincher being involved in some way, but he's one of my favorite directors, and Zodiac is my favorite of his movies. This is outstanding. Also, Jonathan Groff, who played the lead guy Holden Ford, played King George III in Hamilton, and that was him on the original cast recording.

Finished watching the show and man it was amazing. I thought the ending was a bit weak and for me felt a bit rushed. But I'm really looking forward to season 2 and I'm glad they already approved it. Regarding Holden and the ending. I felt that it was a bit to obvious how much his life mirrored aspects of the serial killers he interviewed. He tells two stories about how his mother humiliated him sexually, first by walking in on him masturbating and expressing disapproval with it. And then the story about how she asked him about how many women he had been with, when he lied and said "many" she again disapproved. He interviews a serial killer who's trigger was getting a dear john letter from a girlfriend who was in college and then seeing his girlfriend with another man on the college campus. Holden more or less have the same experience with his girlfriend, who he sees in a somewhat intimate position with her friend Patrick. Holden also starts a witch-hunt on the school principal who tickles kids, seeing it as an early warning of a manic behavior the principal can't and won't stop, while Holden himself does the exact same with his newfound interview techniques, despite several warnings from his colleagues. Don't get me wrong, I loved the show and the development, I just think it was a bit to obvious what was going to happen. I'm not really sure if the ending was even supposed to be surprising, but if it was, I think it failed somewhat.

precision posted:First episode is Zodiac as gently caress, this is good Hell yeah. This is a really great show though the Fincher-directed episodes felt stronger overall than the others and I hope he returns for more and doesn't House of Cards it off to others so much. It's so nice to have a show that doesn't do so much talking down to the audience and has the balls to not rush through everything and let scenes and moments breathe/build tension. The guy playing Kemper is pretty remarkable too.

Well Edmund Kemper is pretty much just as loving unsettling in real interviews as he is in this show. I think it would almost actually be less unsettling if he seemed like the kind of detached crazy that we generally associate with a serial killer. Hearing him talk about everything so casually and articulate is just not what the mind immediately imagines these types to be like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8x5PeZZFNs

mr. unhsib posted:Okay where the hell is this tickle subplot going... Not very far from the looks of it. (Edit: I was wrong. ) Also the only episode that has no BTK killer open. Speaking of, there has been Him mailing the press, him getting bored after his victim doesn't come home in time, and him being "strict". Did I miss anything? Edit 2: Fincher lights everything so much differently. Also his camera setups are just more dynamic. Some classic Fincher inserts in episode 9. Edit 3: deep loving cut on the finale music. algebra testes fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Oct 15, 2017 |

Four episodes in this is real good. I didn't really like the pilot much though. It sets the groundwork well but isn't representative of the meat of the show at all. You gotta do a bit of both, Penhall!

SunshineDanceParty posted:This is a great show but drat the name is horrible. Mindhunter is something on truTV. almost skipped this for that exact reason, but ya, it's great. the first episode had me a little leery, mainly because of the long rear end scene setting up Groff&Gross' relationship. It was going for awkward(?) but came across kinda stilted, like it was their first day on set. By the third episode I was fully on-board though, minus some minor details like Speck (since he was just mentioned) chucking the bird over his shoulder into the fan like a trickshot. Why?? This was a completely amazing scene, and smashing the bird on the table should have been the striking visual to end on, rather then a bizarre piece of theatrics. Super minor critique, but little moments where they just missed the mark kept popping up. overall amazing though & really looking forward to a season 2!

Halfway through and really like the show but agree the pilot is very not good. Also the girlfriend character and storyline with her and Groff currently feels a little cliched.
