To a person familiar enough with serial killers to be interested in watching this show solely because of the subject matter, like a lot of us and your recapper here? Yeah. He is. My proof: Most of us knew or at least strongly suspected right off the bat.

What do you mean “caught by the methods created by [these] people” though? Profiling isn’t designed to “catch” a serial killer. It’s designed to help focus law enforcement on the right suspect, or likeliest suspects, once identified by traditional police work, as I understand it. The police don’t take the profile and…

DUDE. We should probably have thought of this, huh? http://tvline.com/2017/10/23/anna-torv-mindhunter-wendy-dead-cat-mystery-season-1/

...maybe? I just don’t think that’s all there is - Fincher isn’t above such heavy-handed imagery but usually it’s in the service of an actual plot. At least I hope like hell it is.

I completely agree on Torv. She was so intriguing and highly watchable. There’s compelling context here - the start of an entirely new field, the creation of an office that’s well known now, the gender “dance” in the workplace (which was still fairly new in the earlier time periods)...but I gotta ask: we don’t think…

... Yes, hyperbole is hyperbolic. Notwithstanding the failure to recognize it as such, I stand by my comments. The “Olitz” shippers are myopic when it comes to recognizing his many, MANY faults. And the difference between them and fans of the other characters is that no one’s trying to make a case for them being some…

Without question. On both counts. I mean, I get where they were trying to go with Debbie - the fish-out-of-water relationship, brings Holden’s day job into sharper relief, etc. But Debbie’s just so sharp and weirdly-vibed, and it’s hard to see why anyone would stay with her after that acid-tongued treatment and…

Devastating end game, really. Aces.

Is that the one where the firestorm is coming and the guy takes the little girl to find her ... father? I think? Ends with him and his girlfriend on the beach?

OOH THE WAVE!That was SO good! Came here specifically to mention it and was so happy to see someone else had seen it and loved it, too.

Exactly! I don’t even begin to understand this criticism. I admit it’s got some pacing issues, and shit, I don’t even know wtf to say about Debbie (no one does, though), but “vanilla”? Jesus H. Christ. No. It’s compelling as shit. I couldn’t stop watching. Binged all episodes in a day.

I think that’s a function of the way Shonda curates drama. She has these “go-to” moves on each show. Grey’s: Traumatic death! Brain tumors! Scandal: Murder! ... OK, that’s about it on Scandal. Still. It gets ... old, for sure. It also maybe leads to this weird ethical ranking, too. Who’s worse - the person who kills…

Yep. He even called himself “Baron,” if I recall correctly. He did it a lot. Kind of an open secret.

I don’t think it’s the first/greatest sin but I think it’s hypocritical as hell how some folks defend Fitz like the greatest man since Christ when he killed a woman in cold blood, same as - well, nearly everyone, really.

According to Eric McCormack on Twitter, only the finale didn’t happen. The rest of the season did. (I realize that the pregnancy was revealed prior to that finale so I’m not sure where that leaves us but there you go.)

OK, I understand that, but where is this supposed to end? To riff on the JFK example: If you see a movie set in 2008 about politics and there’s a tall black man in a suit saying “yes we can” and people call him “Barack” is it a spoiler for me to tell you that’s President Obama? Granted not quite the same levels of…

And hilarious, simultaneously. Until a viewer reacts, of course.

Aw, puddin’. Feel better. (Though, way to live up to the sn.)

Not really. Elliott knew who Jack was but Jack hardly operated as a father throughout his life. That was kinda the whole point of the big rift in the last season during the big trip.

Also: Yeah, come to think of it, I DO know a few. When the “genuine conversion experience” hit them (from rational to fundie christianist…

She acknowledged that fact. Christ, guys. I love to pick too, but damn.
