    I've been watching this show. Season 2 is out and it's pretty good. I like that it doesn't get all goo goo eyed over the gory , but the dynamic between the two detectives is palpable. They'd make a great X Files couple minus the ing they'd do to each other since new shows have to have a few gay scenes.

    Yeah...I like it. I think I liked Season 1 better but still great. Different than most other shows. And the actors that play the various killers are all excellent.

    IDK

    Season 2 seemed kinda all over the place to me. It went from an interview-heavy psych study show to a more generic 'solve the mystery catch the killer' type show. Plus throw in the seemingly unnecessary lesbo stuff, and the occasional intro scene of the cross dressing asphyxiation guy that really was a tangential as it gets.

    I feel like the ending to season 2 was pretty anticlimactic as well.

    I FFWD through the lesbo stuff, nothing there I needed to see. It's expected now for NF to have at least one gratuitous gay story line in almost every show, despite the genre.

    It’s a terrific show. Finished season 2 yesterday. But it really seems like they didn’t know what to do with dr carr this season

    yeah

    guess they will go chronologically - as the atlanta murders were in the late 70's...

    I also enjoyed the Manson interview - as Manson ed with the detective - due to the detective being sensitive due to his son -

    and also because I had just watched that tarantino flick -

    The diversity of the interviews made season 1 so interesting imo, I found myself wanting more of that in season 2 over the catch the killer storyline

    Tench was struggling all season due to his sons incident. When the team was discussing culpability of spectators he was losing it

    That's Dennis Rader. They'll keep showing little vignettes of him but I doubt they'll "catch" him given that he wasn't caught until 2005.

    yup


    i think the series works best when they tackle the psyche issues and the new "outside the box" tactics that this team introduced to law enforcement -

    and works less

    when they throw in the personal love lifes and home issues of the team -

    but who knows - maybe they will tie them in smartly

    She's the token "what was wrong with powerful white men" character this season. Last year she was more involved, concerned with individual mental well being and such.

    The acting was superb. I could feel his tiredness, his anxiety, his sudden personalizing of comments he would have earlier either agreed with or stated himself. He changed his opinion on things because of how it affected his personal situation (without spoiling anything for anyone by saying more).

    It's a binge worthy show. I couldn't get enough of the dichotomy between the feds and Atlanta PD.

    and yet a majority of her scenes were with the other chick, and that story ended up going nowhere fast. plus, it would have been a lot more fascinating to see what repercussions there would have been to her lifestyle admission on the tape... but they brushed it off as her quick thinking and lying

    I got the impression that Fincher was going for "Feds can't have relationships that work because they too have emotional baggage" angle. She's a cold , but there was a bit too heavy of the chauvinism being laid on by too many high ranking folks. I get it that women were treated differently, maybe I don't get how much differently, but she seems to be the odd one out here, and they are trying to find a niche for her.

    It will still probably happen though. Odd move by them though.

    He and Netflix are choosing to focus on other Netflix projects over the show.

    The issue I see is that the show itself will become stale and people will lose interest as well as the actors. You would think they’d milk this show while the getting is good.

    I think they basically shot their wad in the last season. Moving forward they've already defined the concept of serial killer so there's really nothing interesting now it's just going to be stories about the agents and their families which is mostly made up.

    I think they interviewed too many people in the first season. They could have spent more time on each subject. Other than the cliffhanger it could have pretty much been over after that.
