Just finished the first one and would've happily kept going if not for baseball. Seems different and interesting.Mindhunter dropped about 3am...currently in the midst of a binge. I might be biased as a big fan of the genre, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Watched the first one. Some bad Mamet style dialogue early on, but it's a grabber. A grabber. It's a grabber.Stumbled onto this looking for something new. I don't want to stop watching. If you are into this kind of show (period piece, mind of a killer), then you will like this show.
very well done so far.
Was just looking at that one, looks like i'll have to watch it.The Babysitter is great if you enjoy campy horror and hot chicks kissing.
like it30 minutes into Mindhunter and hooked. I literally put this show on my calendar 3 months ago when the first trailer came out. Stoked it's going to pay off.
Same...probably won't give it another go....too much to watch, too little timetried watching The 100 because I heard good things and am a big sci-fi fan
only made it about 20 minutes. May give it another go but damn the dialogue was stupid

So I wanted to give this show a shot last night. Started it as my wife was coming to bed. She is extremely squeamish when it comes to violence and anything twisted, so I figured she wouldn't like it anyway, but wasn't sure how graphic it got.30 minutes into Mindhunter and hooked.

At least she didn't get exposed to the broomsticksSo I wanted to give this show a shot last night. Started it as my wife was coming to bed. She is extremely squeamish when it comes to violence and anything twisted, so I figured she wouldn't like it anyway, but wasn't sure how graphic it got.
Watching the opening scene and I should have had a clue how it would go when they had male full frontal nudity about 4 minutes in. My wife climbs into bed and looks at my computer screen and a second later...
The guy blows his head off with a shotgun. She screams and starts yelling at me about "how can you watch that" and "that is disgusting". I couldn't help but laugh at her, but it ruined any chances I had at some happyfuntime that night, so thanks Netflix.
I didn't watch anymore of it yet. Will have to sneak this one in late nights while she is sleeping.At least she didn't get exposed to the broomsticks
Yep. Bella Thorne looks trashy every time I see her photo on the 'net but her as a cheerleader? Oh yeah...James Daulton said:Good, turn your mind off movie with a smoking hot lead.
That's the only gory scene I can think of, other than verbal descriptions of what these guys did.I didn't watch anymore of it yet. Will have to sneak this one in late nights while she is sleeping.
Only watched the first episode so far. The lead is a terrible actor but not bad enough to ruin the show. Very well done and my guess is it will keep getting better.Stumbled onto this looking for something new. I don't want to stop watching.

maybe that's it - maybe it's not the actor. It is very short choppy Mamet-like dialogue.Some bad Mamet style dialogue early on,
I'm not enjoying the lead actor either... comes across as autistic in delivery, without having the personality traits- so for me, not believable. but really like the psychologist sidekick, gf and rest of the cast... And enjoying the show quite a bit, especially as it starts getting into more crime solving and less history/setup.maybe that's it - maybe it's not the actor.

I’m through 4 episodes. I love David Fincher, I love the time period, I love the content (is that weird?). So far, so good. Old cop I recognized as a one off from Fight Club, young cop I can’t get a read on. I can’t tell if he’s not a great actor or if he’s supposed to be like that as the character. It’s the whole Marky Mark in Boogie Nights conundrum for me.jdoggydogg said:Loving Mindhunter. This is my favorite new show.
wrapped it up.Thanks for the heads up... Started this last night. Yeah- the Italians know how to over do things, but it's decent. It's a lot like Gomorrah (on Sundance), but with a wider net of character types- not just gangsters.Suburra: Blood on Rome. Italian-made series (with subtitles) that is an apparent prequel to another Italian-made mob movie.
Sometimes the acting is over the top, the translation is a little too simplified at times, and you can see most plot points coming. But it is shot with beautiful parts of Rome as a backdrop, lots of politics, violence, and back-stabbing intrigue, and I found myself binge-watching the **** out of this over three days. I actually found myself caring for a couple of the characters. The Mob, the Vatican, and a hot naked Gypsy chick all help give this a fun thumbs up.
The young cop was in the good HBO drama Looking. He does earnest very well.I’m through 4 episodes. I love David Fincher, I love the time period, I love the content (is that weird?). So far, so good.

Jarring.how are people feeling about the oversized location titles?
Yes, on the spoiler comment.my wife says he was also in Glee.
how are people feeling about the oversized location titles? felt bizarre at first- because it was so big for such a small town, but I'm liking them now.

feels like it's more a history stuyd of psychology use in FBI/LE than it is a who-dunnit. I'm ok with that... but it means more talky less car-chasey.Yes, on the spoiler comment.
The location titles didn't bug me. All the talking bugged me. It was too long. They could have spent less time talking and more time fleshing out how the insights they gleaned allowed them to catch some bad guys imo.
yes on spoiler. Finally hit me in episode 5.my wife says he was also in Glee.

I agree, but they didn't really telegraph that that would be the focus. I wasn't expecting it, and frankly a lot of the talky was redundant.feels like it's more a history stuyd of psychology use in FBI/LE than it is a who-dunnit. I'm ok with that... but it means more talky less car-chasey.
agree. I definitely expected more of a thriller genre. the wife keeps waiting for more stuff to happen and is threatening to bail... I realized the talky part early, but have been selling her on the part I spoilered. her bailing means it's yet another show I have to stay up late to watch on my own. too many of those.I agree, but they didn't really telegraph that that would be the focus.

I still like it, but it's downhill after first three episodes. After first three episodes, thought it might be one of favorite shows of all time. But it pretty quickly reverts into all their personal relationships, blah, blah, blah. And the cliched storyline of fighting the boss is so, so tiresome. It's like a freaking soap opera. Only have one episode left. Hope that redeems it.Mindhunter fans will enjoy this brief analysis of David Fincher's camera techniques.
