Finished this off tonight. I thought it was decent.

They should make the Holden character gay because the actor really can't play straight. I keep expecting him to come out of the closet in the show - just like in "Boss" when I never even heard of him. Plus he's a little too soft-spoken for this character.

I don't care much for the performance of the girlfriend, but really like Bill, Wendy and especially Kemper.

Looking forward to seeing BTK. I read a really good and thorough book about the case - really interesting.

Just burned through this. Excellent! I agree Kemper turned out to be the star. Looking forward to S2 unless Gacy makes an appearance. Grew up around the time & place it happened. Still remember driving pass his house. Creeps me out to this day.

I have this ready to watch and looking forward to it. I remember seeing the original interviews with Kemper and that guy was scary and cut an imposing figure. Quintessential Serial Killer. Highly Intelligent and without any emotion what so ever.

So I finished it. Wasn't thrilled with the way it ended. What if we only got one season? I originally thought it would be self contained. Good to hear that it is picked up for season 2.

I finished this last week. Overall, I thought it was decent, but unlike most I thought the acting issues persisted throughout the season. It just wasn't very polished - reminded me of the first season of Bosch. Randomly, some lines felt rushed and delivered out of tone. Noticed it with both Groff and McCallany.

Regardless, it was a promising first season and am glad it was renewed. I'll be back for more.

Excellent show. Watched interview with the real Kemper (deeply disturbing) and the actor playing him completely nailed it. I agree with a previous poster that says its like a prequel to Criminal Minds but much better. Not 100% sure what the cat thing is other than a symbolic thing representing going back to these killers over and over will just lead to corruption and decay of yourself.

Just finished this one, watched over the past two months, didn't care for the lead, but liked the rest of the cast a lot. Had to google the ending though I wasn't sure who that guy was. Glad it's been renewed.

I thought this was sooo goood. Probably my favorite recent show. I thought the acting was great—especially Cameron Britton as Ed Kemper. Looking forward to season two.

Just finished this as well. Worked through it over about three weeks. Really enjoyed it. Found it very interesting and thoroughly involving. Will be happy to return for a second season.

Hard not to compare it to Assassination of Versace as I'm watching that as well and both dwell on the psychology of the serial killer. This one does it so much better.

Have you seen videos of the real Kemper? Other than the fact that Britton is notably heavier, he freaking nailed the performance.

I finally found some time to start this — I ended up hooked and burned through it in two days. Can’t wait for Season 2 to drop.

By far, my favorite line of Alan Sepinwall's review of Season One :

Just finished up the season.
Excellent series.

I loved how the characters grow (change) over time, especially in the final couple of episodes with Holden.
The scenes with Kemper are some of the most disturbing I have ever seen on-screen...NOT for the faint-hearted.
So were the ones with Brudos (full disclosure: he committed his crimes only a few miles from my house).

Visually, it reminded me of Fincher's Zodiac (a damn fine movie).
The HDR brings an extra amount of creepiness.
It was also great to see Fincher directed 4 episodes as well.

Can't WAIT for S2.
