Not yet. But I will watch it. Binging Buffy right now. That should take me at least a few more weeks...

It looks interesting. When I resubscribe when The Punisher series gets released, I'll try to give this a shot as well.

It was ok.
There is a really long game going on whilst there are short procedurals happening.

Is it similar to Criminal Minds I'm guessing?

Not really.
The interviews are great, though.
After watching, I looked up some info on Kemper. It eerie how close the actor is so close to Kemper in his look, voice, mannerisms etc.

It's more like the origin of what we know as the BAU. Shows a good clash of the old way of thinking and the new way as they are almost constantly butting heads with their superiors/ the old guard at the FBI.

I'm sick of the whole serial killer thing, but this isn't bad.

The actor deserves an emmy for his performance, looking forward to another season. Great show.

They took some liberties with John Douglass's book. But all in all a good series.

The real FBI agent has been doing some consulting on the show, like their portrayal better than the version of him in the Silence of the Lambs series.

Just finished watching it. Hopefully I won't have to wait forever for a 2nd season. Is this supposed to be partly based on fact? If not I keep thinking that the main character in this will end up being a serial killer himself. He seems to have a lack of empathy for other people, like a psychopath.

Does it get better after the first episode? I tried watching it and while it had it's moments, I wasn't sure if it was enough to get me to watch the other nine episodes.

It is slow moving, but I liked it. For me it always seems to take a few episodes of anything to get into it. (granted one reason for me liking it could be the 80's nostalgia--like the complete nonchalance about drunk driving and the one guy constantly smoking on planes, in restaurants, in the car with his non smoking partner and everywhere else that would now be considered illegal or frowned upon)

Just finished the first nine episodes. All in all I thought it was a solid series. The first couple of episodes were a little slow but it sets the foundation for how things play out in the last few episodes. The guy who portrayed Kemper I thought did a hell of a job. Any idea when the second season comes out?
