@KratosMD That sounds horrifying already! I don't think we see it until next Autumn, hopefully around Halloween.
Started watching season 2 of Mindhunter on Netflix. It continues directly after the events of season 1. Episode 1 is based mostly at the bureau, but episode 2 is when they start investigating again. I find it fascinating hearing about the mentality behind being a serial killer. It can be quite uncomfortable viewing as they go into quite a bit of detail on some of the methods they use.
@JohnnyShoulder I was quite indifferent to S1 of the programme as it felt like it didn't really know what it wanted to be; was it a buddy cop shop? case of the week? pseudo-factual drama of setting up the team?
It just felt a bit disjointed to me but I seem to be in the minority of not loving it.
@Thrillho I found it a bit slow to start off with, but once they started to interview the serial killers (or sequence killers as the term 'serial killers was not coined yet) I was hooked.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder Have you watched the Ted Bundy Tapes on Netflix? He was only seen in passing in S1 of Mindhunters but it was interesting towards the end of that mini-series to see one of the guys Mindhunter is based on talking about meeting him and his work at the time.
@Thrillho No but I saw the film about Ted Bundy from the same director starring Zak Effron. It was weird feeling a bit sympathetic towards a serial killer.

@KALofKRYPTON Cheers, I'll add it my list along with Preacher and The Boys. There is not a lot that floats my boat on Prime, hopefully by the time I start using it again I'll have a few things to watch.

Jack Ryan doesn't dramatically change by episode three. 😂
In fact, one of things I liked and made me think of Clancy's writing, was that while the stakes are inevitably raised as the plot moves forward, the pacing remains relatively consistent and the show doesn't inject dramatic contrivances at every convenient juncture (here's looking at you, 24!).
Krazinski is largely believable in the role too which is a help.

It was also quite refreshing to have a significant amount of time devoted to the villain as opposed to just another 'darkie with a gun' scenario.
You never quite sympathise, but there's also a distinct lack of one-sided moralising. Again, I think rather inkeeping with the source; We're presented with characters, situations and reactions - with the moral weight of each side represented well.

@WanderingBullet That Batman Collection is awesome!!! Do we know what movies are part of the collection? I am assuming that the Burton, Schumacher and Nolan series will be included but that's only 7 movies and the set said 18 (I think it was).

@Tasuki The collection only contains DC Batman movie animations. If you scroll down the page a bit to "Customers Reviews" there's an image list of all 19 movies.
Pretty lame for the 'movie' collection - but they've also got the newer live action 4k remasters to sell, so not all that surprising they're not included.
@KALofKRYPTON The main thing thing I don't like about that collection is the inclusion of The Killing Joke. Otherwise, it's a decent collection especially with 19 discs for that price.
@WanderingBullet TKJ managed to make a massively overrated book in to a pretty lackluster film.
They could've held off an included more really. That said - I can't say I'm particularly on board with what they did with Hush - but given the stuff they've already done in the series - there wasn't really a way to do it without major changes or retcons - which is a shame. It's a brilliant book!
@KALofKRYPTON I haven't read the The Killing Joke but thought the animation was terrible. I've read Hush and really liked it but I haven't bought the Blu-ray, yet.
