Finished watching this today, and I'm honestly not sure how I feel about it.
I like some things about this show, there's some solid acting (the actor who plays Bill Tench is really great, I was waiting for him to light up a smoke every time he appeared on screen lol), I like the presentation and the idea behind the show but at the same time it feels like it has weird pacing problems where not a lot of stuff is happening for the first couple of episodes.
Holden is way too soft spoken to the point it becomes annoying. He doesn't have any chemistry with his girlfriend on the show either, and I didn't like how they handled them getting back together after she cheated on him (basically showing us nothing) only for them to break up at the end.
It also feels like too many things remained unsolved at the end of show.
What's with the would be serial killer that's featured throughout the show but never actually does anything? I don't think it was clear at all what him burning those images at the end was supposed to mean, is he abandoning that idea because of the news about the unit solving that case? What about the tuna the professor was placing every night? It sure felt like something was going to happen with that, but nothing did happen.
Also, that ending scene with Holden collapsing was weird for me.
I get it.. his girl broke up with him, he's having problem at work and a serial killer just threatened to murder him, but it just didn't feel right...
Like I said tho, I still liked some things about the show and I'm hoping they do better in season 2

Watching this right now. Pretty good show. What's the general consensus on this show around here?
I've seen people say it's the best show on Netflix these past few days. Take that as you will. I also need to get around to it at some point, I did like of what I saw of the pilot.
Best netflix show and one of my favourite "tv" shows in recent years! Great directing, great cast
Love this show so much. Tench is the man. Fischer can do no wrong in my eyes. Give me a Fincher Batman film with tons of detective procedural stuff and disturbing villains and I'll die happy.
"Pretty good". Understatement of the year. It's Netflix at their very best.
They finished filming on season 2 about 2 weeks ago. So perhaps a summer release???
what? Nice. I though I had read that it was gonna be awhile before s2 would even be on the radar
I also thought this was a bump for news, haha. Been thinking about this show lately. As someone who has been trained by FBI profilers, I usually have a hard time with shows about profiling, and I really dislike John Douglas (the person Holden Ford's character is based on and who wrote the book Mindhunter.) So I was quite surprised by how much I loved this show. I think they portray profiling and, honestly, the people who do it for a living, in a realistic light. I was a bit surprised by how much Ed Kemper featured in the first season as well, and his actor must have watched videos of Kemper speaking because the resemblance is uncanny. A really excellently acted and directed show.
Jonathan Groff surprised me as Holden Ford. I love Jonathan Groff but I hate Holden Ford. He's insufferable. Tench is awesome, though.

I saw it recently, really good show, I'm a fan of this kind of thrillers. I'm really excited to see where they go towards season 2, because the paraller between Holden and the serial killers is really interesting.
The acting, except from the girlfriend which was horrrible, was super good (especially the man that plays Ed Kemper, he's incredible)

Watched this last month, and I enjoyed it alright. I really liked the subject matter, but aside from Tench I didn't care for the characters, especially the girlfriend. Looking forward to next season.
I was joking. But you can get that people are eager for a second season, meaning we all liked S01 ;) you will be another one waiting for it, soon
Seems like the earliest we could get Season 2 is June, but the fall and October seem most likely. A 2 year wait between seasons is kind of bullshit. I wish Netflix dropped the whole binge a season and atleast released a cluster of episodes on a monthly basis.
Bump whining on this forum is out of control.
Edit: saw your second post... fair enough.
Ftfy j/k
But yeah, best series currently running, bar none, IMO. Can't wait for August!
I just finished season 1. Surprised this show seems to have little hype and almost no awards love, it was amazing.
I hope Holden's gf doesn't return, their relationship was really weird.
Also Anna Torv's character needs more to do. It's refreshing that she's a lesbian and that's that, except it actually would be interesting to explore that side of her more within the time period and workplace. Also, her entire personal story is that she feeds a cat, and...? That's it? I have no idea what the purpose of that story was.

I think it was mostly an attachment she had and it's gone now.
Just read an article and Fincher said it was supposed to show that there may be a boy in the building going around killing animals. I actually was pretty tense during those scenes, especially the first one when she's only wearing a shirt in a creepy laundromat basement.
Torv thought it meant this:

In an interview with The Treatment David Fincher announced that the new season will release on the 16th August.
Awesome news, I adored the first season and can't fucking wait for more. Man I hope they'll continue using some classic songs again...that scene in the finale with "In the Light" was mesmerizing.
Just dead drop it. I don't need a trailer. I will binge that entire season on the weekend it drops.
I new the date for months, one of the stars revealed it to me at my place of work. Looking forward to it.
