Late to the party but uhhhh Holden

Idk what it is but I am super attracted. I do tend to like the socially awkward, cut and dry types and his voice is so gentle and soothing.

S2E8

I just finished this episode about the Atlanta Child Murders and I wanted to know everyone’s take on that.

Do you guys believe that Wayne Williams is guilty or that the FBI was wasting too many resources and time and needed a quick fall guy? I think his arrest was just too convenient and i subtly remember an HBO documentary on this too

EDIT: For those of you that are curious about the documentary jt is called HBO MAX Atlanta's Missing And Murdered: The Lost Children it is a 5 ep mini series.

First time i rewatch a series, Need a compensation

I had watched the show when it was aired, but i remember back then i dont really have the taste in a "gasping behavioral research" films or maybe i was too young to cope with the complexity of this series.

Couple days back i watched a documentary of Jeffrey Dahmer (Conversations with a killer) and man that give me chills and provoke a lot of thoughts.

Then i remember Mindhunter and how i was half watching it (because my ex forced me into it). But i always remember the gasping scene of Kemper and Holden when he hugged him. And the crave for season 3 that was actually never came. I'm now on ep 7 S1, and it couldnt helped me to think that there will be no season 3.

I've been looking on some of Douglas's works that had been filmed. I've put the silence of the lambs and the lovely bone (iirc) on my next list. Can you guys recommend me other serial killer series (not movies) that has "similar taste" as Mindhunter? Maybe some that emphasize the behavioral or the character of the criminals? Cheers

They should make John Douglas's Mindhunter as an audiobook read by the actor who plays Ed Kemper

That would be so good!! The real Ed Kemper did that in real life. He recorded audiobook for blind people. So a cool wink to that. Also, in the show, Ed Kemper is an important piece of bringing Ford and Tench into the mind of serial killers so it would make sense that he could bring us into that story. Plus, the actor, Cameron Britton did such an amazing work portraying Ed Kemper equally for the look and voice. I think he'd be perfect! Anyone else would love that?

Just finishing up season 2

I'm on episode 5 of season 2.

I feel like this show lacks overarching theme/cohesion to call it "great."

What is the argument that this show is so good? I feel like a lot of the writing hasnt circled back to itself. It feels churned out and shallow.

What is your favorite funniest scene of the show?

Personally, no matter how many times did I rewatch the show, I always find it funny. The last scene in S1E3, when Bill and Holden are waiting outside the FBI HQ, waiting for taxi to drop Wendy off. Holden is asking Bill, if he had something with Wendy in the past. Talking about her energy, about her ideas. And Bill casually responds to him:

´´I get it. Old man Tench jumps onboard, so what? Grumpy old Shepard, who cares? But the Foxy professor..´´

I love the actors so much, honestly the whole show is brilliant. It has everything. Breaks my heart thinking about not ever watching Season 3.

Really want to understand the psychological aspect behind gruesome crimes

Hi guys , I really want to know about the books or novels anything that is available out there that could help me understand the minds of criminals.

I've always had keen interest in true crime and I really want to have a deep understand behind the motives and reasons of it. I'll be really thankful if you could recommend me some books regarding the same.

Thanks !

Just finished the series

First off what a show! Honestly the best show I have seen in such a long time. I went in blind not knowing much about it only seeing it recommended a lot and thought I’d give it a go. There was so much that show could have continued with and to hear it’s done they’re not doing another season due to Netflix cancelling it because it cost to much money to make when Netflix hosted a ridiculous $100M pathetic fight that no one cared to see and knew exactly the way it would play out just doesn’t seem fair we want great shows not pathetic useless money grabbing fights! I feel ripped off lol. It’s so disappointing what this show could have become, the acting throughout was just superb.

Very saddened by our other (equally if not more talented) David’s passing but this meme made me chuckle a little.

FML moment

I opened my phone and read the news about David Fincher's demise. I opened Instagram and the first post was a RIP one. I posted it on my story captioned "mindhunter". After 2 hours of posting it I just checked my story again and felt something off. That's when it hit me, my sleepy ass read david lynch as david fincher 💀 Luckily only a few people saw my story since it was early morning. FML

However, my respects to David Lynch.

Anna Torv (aka. Wendy)

Guys I’m currently watching the series for the second time and in season 2 now. ALL the characters in the show are phenomenal but Wendy is one of the best characters ever written in TV/film history impo. She’s literally flawless, in terms of acting, line delivery, tone, expressions etc.. JUST PERFECTION!

i have never waited for scenes where a specific actor are involved in like Wendy in this show. i swear I’m fanning over her like crazy lmaoo

I first watched the show in 2021, while i was in medical school and this show and her character specifically gave me the idea/inspiration to pursue psychiatry as a career at the time (yes i know shes a behavioral psychologist lol). I will be finishing med school this year and specialize later after residency.

Are there any works for her where she’s kinda similar to her character on this show so i can check out?

Just realized I watched season 2 instead of 1....

Omg i'm so mad especially since everyone says season 2 is the worst season, is it still possible to watch season 1 now that I've watched season 2?

Amy Farrah Fowler solves crimes.

I finished watching the series for the second time and Holden reminds me a lot of Amy, he’s smart but socially awkward but not as much as Sheldon, he is open to new ideas and like to have some fun, he loves his suits, etc. I have been reading other people’s posts and I don’t think he’s a sociopath, he’s of those people who get obsessed with their job. It’s a shame they didn’t use Dr. Carr more in the second season, her whole plot became a love story, she could have given more. And yeah, it’s sad that the series wasn’t renewed, I will never understand why Netflix doesn’t focus on a few shows, instead of making 1000 per year and drop most of them.

Curious of any possible moves to other platform.

I honestly think that if Max picked it up, even if fincher didnt hand direct it all, someone like Pascal Plante who did the recent Red Rooms could definately maintain the visual and tonal continuity of the show. I know pizollatto didnt do night country and instead they handed the reigns over to issa lopéz who just came off of the film Tigers are not afraid. Wondering what y’alls thoughts were, especially on who would do a good job other than fincher..
