The former.Do I need to watch season 1 beforehand or is this standalone like Fargo?
Nope, I don't need to see this. In a few days I can start watching the show. :)
So they're tackling the Atlanta child murders that all got pinned on Wayne Williams. I'm definitely curious to see how the show resolves this.
You need to watch season 1 because it's about as great as TV gets.Do I need to watch season 1 beforehand or is this standalone like Fargo?
Most?Douglas (the inspiration for the show) has been pretty vocal about the fact only most of the murders were Williams' doing. And my impression is he's given a few winks and nods that white supremacists being covered for by the local PD did some of the rest... hopefully they will introduce some of that.
Most?
"Former FBI profiler John E. Douglas wrote in his book Mindhunter that, in his opinion, "forensic and behavioral evidence points conclusively to Wayne Williams as the killer of eleven young men in Atlanta." He added, however, that he believed there was "no strong evidence linking him to all or even MOST of the deaths and disappearances of children in that city between 1979 and 1981"
No worries. I just want people to get an accurate sense of scale of the miscarriage of justice the police did by pinning all the murders on Wayne Wiliams.I should've checked my numbers! For some reason I had 15 in my head. I'll edit my post.
I looked, thought it was him too. But it isn't.Is that bald guy the one who played September in Fringe? Funny to see 2 actors from that tv show back in Mindhunter.

Didn't check Mindhunter s2 cast list though.
This is a major prestige show for them, Fincher produced House of Cards before this so it's a bridge they probably aren't going to burn.This is one of those shows that I always feel is a ticking time bomb for when Netflix pulls the plug. Don't get me wrong, I love the show, but if the OA wasn't safe what guarantee this will survive long enough to have a decent ending?
With its first three episodes – all of which are directed by David Fincher – Mindhunter season 2 immediately establishes itself as the best looking show on Netflix. There's nothing on the streaming service – or indeed, TV in general – that looks quite as cinematic. Fincher's controlled camera movements – always precise, always constructed to draw our eye along with the action – yield breath-taking results. Here is a series where most of the time is spent with characters sitting around talking, and yet Fincher finds was to keep things exciting.
That is great to hear. I am so excited for tomorrow.
Netflix actually cares about Mindhunter, they had a press event for season 2. The OA seems like one of those shows that has more active social media presence than actual viewers.This is one of those shows that I always feel is a ticking time bomb for when Netflix pulls the plug.
