Kal-El814 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Show is good, offender profiling is an abomination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 LOVED the first season and what really has me intrigued is how Damon Herriman is going to play the character of Manson in both this and "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood". Will it be the same or do Quentin & Fincher have different visions (supposedly so considering their uniqueness to film)!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also curious about this - I imagine they will be very different because Tarantino and Fincher work in very different tones. We'll see!

Law enforcement creating suspects off of personality, racial, and economic characteristics--which is what Holden and his team are inventing in Mindhunter, which is based on a true story--has done more harm than good. But if it got us this show I say it was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 6 episodes so far and loving every second of it. I'll hold off on discussion until I have others to bounce off of, meanwhile I'll probably finish up the season tonight (unfortunately on 9 episodes total!!)

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I sat up way too late and watched 4 episodes. This might be even better than the first season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Binge complete. Really didn't wanna work the next three nights in a row without having finished this. It was worth it, despite the nightmares I had last night and the ones I'm likely to have tonight. Show is top notch. It's so tense. I knew about the Atlanta Child Murders before, but it was still gut wrenching, watching it all play out and knowing the other murderer(s) were never caught and the other 27 families never got justice. Oh yeah, the guy who played Berkowitz is the stuff of nightmares. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Berkowitz makes me laugh every time I see him. He looks like someone who would be bitching at the staff in a Manhattan deli about how they can never get his pastrami on rye order right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there have ever been genetics predisposed to bitching at someone in a deli, this is it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneticBlueprint Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Just finished last night. Such a good show. Though it did feel like it just ended out of nowhere since they spent the entire season setting up next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 So after finishing S2, I do have to say I found it significantly weaker overall. It felt very...lopsided in that I felt like the first half was somewhat unfocused and then the truly exciting and interesting Atlanta portion ended up feeling rushed and abrupt in its ending. I still think it's a solid 7/10 season with amazing performances, fantastic cinematography, atmosphere, everything but the overall plot and writing felt kind of lost until the middle of the season. I also kind of didn't understand what Dr. Carr's rather lengthy relationship sub-plot added. I suppose they wanted to shift the main character focus from Holden's character maybe and since he had a relationship thing in S1, this was the counterbalance? In hindsight, I just didn't think it brought anything to Carr's character we didn't already understand from her relationship in S1. S1 was one of my favorite shows in a sea of great releases so overall I have to say S2 was pretty uneven, bumpy and possibly even felt slightly superfluous to me despite being objectively good. I think I really didn't connect with anything outside of the Atlanta segment and the BTK vignettes and related. A highlight for me was the interview with the BTK survivor kid in the pickup truck, amazing segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atlanta stuff should have been extended instead of packed into the latter half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't think the sub-plots were bad or even uninteresting, just way too predominant in a season that was starving for a real direction and hook until Atlanta really hit. How much time was spent on Bill Tench's sub-plot was almost a bit frustrating to me at points despite being compelling in and of itself.
