I didn’t even realise they did a second season! Dahmer one was very good!

Yes it's about the Menendez brothers. Was not quite as shocking but still brutal. Worth a watch.

 

[Barry Smalley]

Thanks for posting this. I’ll definitely be giving it a watch.

Looks like they've turned the creepiness up to eleven - I'm thinking this could be even better than Dahmer

Yes was thinking that too, he coming across as a ultimate monster.

First episode done, I think I need to sleep but I don't want to sleep :S

It is better than Dahmer, in a completely wtf way as well.

 

[McManicMan]

Yeah better than second season, equal in horror to the first. Liking the linking with certain film productions. Watched 4 episodes will watch the rest tomorrow.

It was ok, lots of creative liberties, last two episodes felt like a drag.

I gave up after 2 episodes. I thought it was pants.

whys he proper buff in episode 1 like he goes the gym 3 times a week and takes steroids? apparently he wssn't known for having a muscular physique

he lived on a farm, so therefore he was buff as hell cos all farmers look like hollywood actors bodywise

Spoiler: Final episode spoiler

The 3 agents were basically the 3 characters from Mindhunter, correct ? Instead of me being like 'oh cool' all it did was make me wish they had never cancelled mindhunter given how much better it was than this show

I remember watching this documentary about him, Christ knows, 20 years ago nearly?
This one:

He's pretty much the sole inspiration for Texas Chainsaw, and the house used etc

 

[arknor]

this is so much crazy over the top fantasy stuff that never happened.

I thought it was going to be a serious programme, yet its some absolute dross aimed at teenagers


There's one point where hes in prison talking to ilse koch on a radio even though he existed decades after her death and other absolute fantasy rubbish... they probably think its clever letting us into his delusions yet it's all absolute made up rubbish.

the actor that terrible guy from sons of anarchy charlie humaan? or some crap is terrible playing simple jack with an irish accent even though the actors not irish

I watched Mindhunter again a couple of weeks ago, quite bizarre that it was cancelled given all the source material out there.

Thought this was laughably bad. So much nonsense.
