Anybody else watching this? Amazing show. The main characters are based on John Douglas and Robert Ressler, the first FBI agents to gain insight into the minds of serial killers by interviewing them in prison (Douglas was the basis for Scott Glenn's character in Silence of the Lambs). Set in the late 70s. I'm three episodes in and really enjoying it. [Reply]
Frazod: Sometimes all the aspects of production make up for a mediocre story, like eating at certain restaurants on Oak Creek in Sedona. They could serve you cold Spam on burnt toast and you would love it due to the view
I will be getting into it in a few days but your making me want to it now... I need 10 free h ours to bing watch it... [Reply]

yeah he needs to come back next season too. It's hard to play a serial Killer without coming off as a cliche or over acting the part.

yep, real good job creating the vibe in the late 70's.
Spoiler!
I don't understand the betrayal to the internal
Investigators. Cops don't tell others their long time pardners are unfit to be cops. The "breakdown" was unnecessary. Liked the show, not the ending.
About halfway through watching this. It was driving me crazy why the professor chick looked so familiar, but I couldn't place her. So I looked on the interwebs. It's the girl from Fringe. [Reply]
Just finished the last episode. Great show. Holden's transformation over the course of the season was remarkable. Definitely reminds me of the Nietzsche quote about staring into the abyss, and the abyss staring back. [Reply]
So...Holden got back with the skinny hippie chick after he caught her cheating on him then she dumps him? How f**t up is that s**t? Hopefully she gets the Jenny from Forrest Gump treatment.

Well, Holden really kind of devolved into a giant douche over the course of the season. I assume the next season will deal with him trying to get past that.

I think he was losing himself and went back to her for "grounding"
but ended up taking all his angst and insecurities out on her instead. The "cheating and taking back" bit was really human and realistic. She cheated on him because he was rarely ever around but when he was, he only wanted to talk about himself and trivialized anything she did that didn't directly tie into him.
She got back with him and then realized why she cheated in the first place.
Yes, he was a douche. She shouldn't have gotten back with him. She cheated,
whatever, people do that shit (as shitty as it is) but she should have just moved on from there. Getting back with him just to shit on him again was lame as f. She's a post grad psych major, she knows how much that s**t f**ks with a psyche.
