DeeCee Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 8 episodes in and this show is brilliant. Fincher directs the first 2 episodes and sets it up as only Fincher can. It’s a slow burn that is quite chilling at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) I just looked up Edmund Kemper. The actor is the spitting image of him. Holy fuck. The scene in the show is basically verbatim. Edited October 14, 2017 by DeeCee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel M Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I watched the first two episodes and I really like it. I haven't seen how it goes from here but it felt like a 2 hour pilot. Anyone who wants to sample this should watch both and not just the first because it is kind of weird and pretty much all setup, the 2 main characters meet in the last 5 minutes and then it just ends abruptly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 I finished it on the weekend. I really liked it. It's definitely set up as an ongoing series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel M Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Finally finished it and loved it. I watched it mostly because of Fincher, and even if it still isn't "his" show it feels way more Finchery than say House of Cards did. But the show is interesting and engaging all together, so I'll follow it even if Fincher never directs another episode (which seems probable since he has to do another movie any minute now). The cast is great through and through from the 3 leads to all the killers and even if it's structured like a 10 hour movie like most Netflix shows are it feels more like a TV show. Yeah there's pretty much no distinct episodes, even the "case-of-the-week" crimes and serial killer interviews are peppered throughout multiple hours, and the episodes themselves don't even have a similar length, I think one of them is just 30 minutes. But this feels like the start of a much bigger story unlike 13 Reasons Why or Stranger Things which felt like miniseries that got a sequel because they 're popular. And about how big the story might be I read this article which contains huge spoilers about the real events that might be part of the show in the future. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/10/mindhunter-who-is-adt-killer-kansas-dennis-rader-season-2-wichita-park-city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 I liked how they had a bad car crash and still didn't wear seatbelts. And the smoking. The constant, non-stop smoking. Everywhere. The 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I finished this last night and fell in love with it by the end. Fantastic cast to boot (Cameron Britton, in particular, deserves Emmy recognition). Can't wait for the second season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel M Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Very interesting interviw with Fincher about how the show got made (also briefly talks about WWZ2 and Utopia getting canceled) https://www.empireonline.com/people/david-fincher/empire-podcast-david-fincher-interview-special/ Edited October 23, 2017 by Joel M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel M Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Season 2 drops tomorrow I've been rewatching season 1 the last couple of days and I think over the past two years it has become my favorite ongoing tv show. Even if the interviews/research is the main thrust of the show's narrative, the small scale cases are what really makes the show great. It'm at episode 6 which concludes the Altoona murder and it's just amazing how they turned that really small case (next to the famous serial killers) into an epic arc with memorable characters, complex relationships while simultaneously being full of twist and turns. From the trailer season 2 looks like it's gonna have one big ongoing investigation instead of 3-4 small ones. I really hope it is as compelling as the small time crimes of the first season.

Jonan23 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I binged season 1 and thought it was pretty good. Now I just watched the first episode of season 2 and it was my favorite episode and am now really excited to continue season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
