Astromech Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Looks quite good. I've had that book on my TBR list for a while. I'll have to bump it up and read it before October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay B. Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I've been excited for this for a while now, and also have the book but haven't read it yet. It looks really interesting. Glad to see it renewed already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I read this over 20 years ago. I remember something about a voice box being sent down a garbage disposal - Google tells me Edmund Kemper and his mom? Anyways, I will totally watch this. ETA I guess the book came out on 96. So barely over 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiDisaster Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I love true crime related stuff and I've always had a morbid fascination with serial killers, I'm really looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red snow Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 given the strength of Fincher's "zodiac", it seems serial killers are his forte. Will it feature portrayals of real life serial killers or are they fictional? I think what made Zodiac so effective was that it was based on genuie events. Also wonder how many episodes Fincher will director? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first guy in the trailer (talking about how butchering people is hard work) looked like Gacy to me, though Gacy wasn't much of a 'butcher' if I remember correctly so I dunno. The Time magazine cover in the trailer showed Berkowitz on it and the IMDB page lists an actor playing Dennis Rader. So it looks like they might be all real, or a mix of real and fictional.

I guess two episodes is good at setting the tone and hopefully the others can emulate him. I know with some shows the big director is noticeable absent eg Twin Peaks. 9 hours ago, KiDisaster said: The first guy in the trailer (talking about how butchering people is hard work) looked like Gacy to me, though Gacy wasn't much of a 'butcher' if I remember correctly so I dunno.

A mix is fine. I can watch "Hannibal" and while disturbed, the villains never chill me that much. But characters based on real people freaks me out as there's no hiding from the fact such people exist. They have. Zodiac got to me more because they never caught the killer. The fact they got away with it and could have watched the film terrifies me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I'm definitely interested now that it's less than a week away. Watched the tesser when I was loading up another show on Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 I'm eager for this series as well. I never got around to reading the book the series is based upon, but that just means I get to come into the series blind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonArryn Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Interested in this too. As another poster said, Fincher seem to know what he's doing when it comes to dark thrillers about serial killers. Both Seven and Zodiac are among the best you can find in that genre. One fictional and another absed on real events. And Netflix seem to be pretty dependable, even though they don't always hit the mark, they usually do, and considering the talent behind this, it should work. Anna Torv is a nice actress too, I hope she gets some screen time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowleper Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I've watched up to the second episode, and so far this show has been phenomenal. Anybody else watching? It's a period drama set in the FBI in the 1970's about the development of criminal psychology and the serial crime unit - to help better understand where and why these killers come from. It's directed by Fincher (who did Se7en) -- based on a book I haven't read. I usually hate crime dramas, particularly 'psychological' crime drama -- but the script, characters, and writing has been really solid so far.

Astromech Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 First two episodes were good. Tench and Ford are perfect together. There is another thread already started, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
