re: Mindhunter (Season 2 Now Streaming) Spoilers start page 2

Just finished up last night and agree with pretty much all you said. I was enthralled wiht the atlanta storyline. I couldn't care less about anna torvs gf or holdens' gf in season 1.

Any ideas when they'll start shooting season 3?

I don't think it has technically been renewed yet by Netflix yet, but it probably will be.

finished season 2 and I thought it was good, but not really good. It's good because the actors and direction. The show was way too drawn out for the story they used.

1. The detective's kid. They need to show some insight pov from him. So far all we know is he is a non-animated mute.

2. Relationships eat up time. It would be better if have they had some parallel or impact.

3. The Manson interview as ok, Ed Kemper still rules.

4. By far the slowest part of the season was watching the stake out at bridges in Atlanta.

Eta. Road blocks, like getting volunteers and memorials, Holden ran into were fine but they could have indicated that the director was going to fix stuff like this in the future.

Overall I would say 7/10 for this season.

I started watching and am up to episode 8, season 1. Good stuff, so far.

No, it doesn't get worse, although there is a picture in the next episode of said toddler, but it really doesn't show much.

But if that disturbed you to the point you couldn't watch, this definitely isn't the show for you. That was pretty tame.

Trust me, a couple years ago I would've called that tame as well. But having a toddler really changed my ability to watch shows like this.

Thanks for the replies, all.

You missed the entire point. Part of the question is: "If a black kid goes missing in the late 70s, does anyone even give a frick? Would you even hear about it?"

---

How'd I miss the point exactly? He brought up a potential conspiracy theory.

"The cops being involved in some sort of cover-up makes too much sense sadly, that last scene with the ATL FBI agent explaining the 'white-washing' of that pedo-house and the polaroids. Decent chance others were involved and the APD has some knowledge/screwed the pooch, then swept the rest under the rug. White police force in a Black city in the 70s/80s doesn't breed confidence that the ultimate findings were thorough and legitimate"

If the murders stopped after the arrest then the conspiracy theory is pretty much disproved.

No.

No, only if it makes the paper or evening news and its mentioned only once.

If we want to be perfectly honest, did the black politicians give a frick if the kids went missing? No. And thats not a white police issue. Is that exclusive to the 70s? No, to this day every night in america young black males don't make it home and are never seen again, other than the report on the evening news, no one gives a shite, blacks included.

I think tonight’s the night to start this.

I don’t really want to get into some Poliboard like debate on the MTV board or really anywhere on the internet. I have horrible syntax when writing on here. After rereading what I wrote, I can see how it can come off inflammatory, so I apologize. I promise you it wasn’t meant that way.

I thought the show did an excellent job of detailing the poverty levels of the different groups they presented. It was nice and refreshing to see a show actually differentiate between gang embroiled black communities and lower income black communities.

It’s frustrating to see things talked about in literal black and white when there is so much more to it than that.

Fincher and company did a really excellent job of tackling a tough issue without coming off as heavy handed or politically motivated. They told a complete story. Fincher’s attention to detail is really what sets him apart. I’ve watched this season twice, and it was just as easy to watch the second time around. There’s only so much I personally (and I suspect the vast majority of viewers) can absorb when I’m trying to follow a story you’re interested and invested in. For the record, I watched it twice because I stayed up til 5 AM the first time around when the wife went to sleep at 11, so I rewatched it with her. I didn’t want to rewatch it for any particular reason. Fincher is just that good.


Completely unrelated....

For anyone who wants to watch a cool little 5 minute video on one of the examples of something that sets Fincher apart, this guy does an excellent job detailing how Fincher’s filming techniques translate into emotion when watching.
