I really wouldn't think much of that at all, trailer has given it all away aswell.

Slippin Jimmy · 10-10-2017 5:45pm

Trailers look good. I'll be giving this a watch.

Marje · 13-10-2017 9:31pm

On the 3rd episode and it's very good.

It's a while since I really liked a series which I didn't want to end.

Agent Coulson · 13-10-2017 9:33pm

Hoping we get all that bad weather on Sunday so I can sit in by the fire for the day and watch it.

Slydice · 13-10-2017 11:58pm

4 Episodes In after 1 night.

This show is good!

NOT FOR KIDS!

Slydice · 14-10-2017 12:23am

oh, and as far as episode 4 goes..

my guess is that the wife did it in this latest case

Arghus · 14-10-2017 1:42am

I'll give this a watch, even if I think it looks a tad obvious and familiar.

Patty O Furniture · 14-10-2017 1:48am

I heard Maria mention it on TodayFM, btw how much is Netflix & did i hear there was an increase?

Skerries · 14-10-2017 5:51pm

anyone notice the cans of Big Red in episode 4 were modern with the ringless tab and the tapered top and bottom?

Slydice · 14-10-2017 6:04pm

Episode 8 and the show is really keeping my interest roughly at a level around or a bit more than the early episodes.

After that episode though, i'm starting to wonder if

something happened to Holden from before the show. The episode was focussed on him, stuff getting him down and then his actions against the principal at the end. There's two episodes left to be introducing this story development.

Marje · 14-10-2017 6:32pm

Just finished episode 8

If the principal is sacked, he might upgrade his tickling to something else.
I'm wondering about the cat which hasn't made an appearance but eats the tuna,
is there something more to this as they spent a few times on part of this story

Neames · 14-10-2017 7:29pm

4 episodes in and I think this is a great show.

Slydice · 14-10-2017 8:48pm

Just finished. Top series!

Well f**k me, that scene in the ICU... that moment.. after Kemper moves but before the hug

the tension and realisation of how trapped he is, the tense soundtrack in the background

I think I genuinely felt dread

Some directing to do that! :eek:

Also, with that ending, I'm guessing there's gonna be a second season and that guy we've been seeing is the guy they are going after.

Just checked how the series is scoring:
rotten tomatoes - critics: 96% (26 reviews) audience: 94% (186 ratings)
imdb: 9.1/10 (1,919 reviews)

Slydice · 14-10-2017 8:55pm

It's already renewed for a second season since April! :eek:
Netflix has renewed David Fincher thriller Mindhunter for a second season, before it even launches

fair call

Great ending to a great series. What to watch after that.

I saw on IMDb that it was renewed for 2nd series.

Holden could easily have made his end by Kemper hands. Think it's the first time I saw Holden really scared and hadn't a clue what to do. Anyone would have a panic attack after that.
ADT guy - guessing his crimes will be shown in series 2 and another guess, maybe Wendy Carr or someone we know as a potential prey for him

me_irl · 15-10-2017 1:55am

Four episodes in... absolutely loving it.

And because I like to spoil things for myself, I searched the suspicious security guy... this is him.

The only nitpick I have with the series is the location title cards. They're a bit too in-your-face. I mean, I do get the 70s aesthetic, but I cringe everytime they show up.

Rekop dog · 15-10-2017 11:47am

This has series of the year vibes off it. Very engrossing.

Páidí Ó Sé is great in it too.

Basq · 15-10-2017 11:50am

Only 2 episodes in.. taking it as slowly as possible.. but I reckon it could be the best original series Netflix has done yet.

Also, the music is great. Whoever made the decision to close the 2nd episode with Psycho Killer by Talking Heads.. genius!

the whole year inn · 15-10-2017 12:46pm

Really enjoying this.

Agent Coulson · 15-10-2017 3:22pm

Watched the first episode and it's off to a great start.

Had a look to see who is playing Debbie and found out she is Constable Benton Fraser daughter :eek:

JohnK · 15-10-2017 5:28pm

Another +1 from me, brilliant show. Put it on yesterday to see what all the fuss was about and finished the last episode a few minutes ago

Yggr of Asgard · 15-10-2017 6:41pm

So after reading this, I decided to give it a try and now I'm hooked on it.

Groff is doing an excellent job here, he always will be Jesse St. James to me, but this is showing how good of an actor he is.

Hmm...

On episode nine now and I think I may have jumped the "hype" gun.

I feel it's dragging towards the end. Filler episodes that are anime-worthy with little to no character development and falling in to the case-per-episode formula á la X Files.

For example,

Wendy being a lesbian. Does it matter? She could have just uprooted her life and decided to move without the break up that we weren't invested in before, nor afterwards.

I think I would have preferred if this series was just six or eight episodes.

16-10-2017 11:24am

This is something special. Two episodes in and would have been more if not for the fact that I needed to sleep.

Giruilla · 16-10-2017 2:55pm

Phenomenal show. Only gripe is that have to wait so long for season 2. The best show netflix have made imo

OptimusTractor · 16-10-2017 3:05pm

Holden is the spit of Dennis from It's Always Sunny

mikeysmith · 16-10-2017 3:08pm

8/10

Kemper was absolutely killing it for a couple of episodes

They could lose the splash screens though

Agent Coulson · 16-10-2017 4:21pm

7 episodes in hoping to finish it tonight if the power stays I have to say they are nailing it the closing songs on each episode as well.

Ekels · 17-10-2017 6:17pm

Just finished it. Wow. Just wow. What a show. The ending...

Can't believe I must wait another year for season 2. I get the feeling I'll re-watch it in the meantime.

It has everything that I like in a series- engaging characters, suspense, sharp dialogue, conflict... I could go on.

The Black Oil · 17-10-2017 9:37pm

I've watched 3. Good, but I'm slightly wary of the hype. Don't think anyone lights/shoots night scenes quite like Fincher.

NIMAN · 18-10-2017 8:19am

Watched 4 episodes so far.

Its good, not amazing like some are saying, but will stick with it for the series.
The older of the 2 guys is the best character in it, and I also like the big killer in prison.

ArthurG · 19-10-2017 11:06am

Just finished it last night - loved it, can't wait for season 2....

Presume you mean Ed though Gerry is no lightweight himself.

Snake Plisken · 20-10-2017 12:10am

Fantastic show it really really reminds me of Zodiac probably because David Fischer producing and directing a few of the key episodes. It’s great news that we will get a season 2 and I hope we get a season 3 as well. It makes the Netflix sub totally worth with shows of this quality being produced!

J. Marston · 20-10-2017 1:44am

Haven't disliked a TV character as much as Holden's girlfriend in ages. It's not even plot-related, just her crap acting and miserable face made every scene with her a pain. Really hope she isn't in season 2.

As for the show itself, it's very good. Tench is great and the unsettling gentle psycho, Kemper, too.

Little to no character development? Are we watching the same show? I finihsed it last night. It was phenomenal I thought.

Right up until the end Holden's character has been completely evolving.

Best show in years.

Larsso30 · 20-10-2017 11:19am

best TV show in years, absolutely love it.

OptimusTractor · 20-10-2017 12:24pm

Hopefully they interview Ed Gein in Season. Someone mentions furniture being made out of bones during a meeting between the group.

Shred · 22-10-2017 12:27pm

I've watched three episodes so far and it's great, I'd binge the hoop off the rest of it only the wifi is crap where I am.

dastardly00 · 22-10-2017 1:30pm

I watched the first episode last night.
I didn't think it was that good... presume I just need to keep watching it... ?

Agent Coulson · 22-10-2017 1:56pm

Interview with the real Ed Kemper if anyone is interested.

Keep watching

Didn't think episode 1 was the best either but it gets better.

Watched as far as when he walked in the room. I don't mind watching when it's done through a tv show/film played by actors.
Think hearing it directly from a serial killer himself might be a bit too much for me.
