I think he can hear you, Ray.
It's a shame it doesn't seem to be getting much traction because it's good so far. I think the first episode is trying way too hard though and I feel almost like they're trying to do something like 'Zodiac' with the sheen of 'CSI'. It doesn't quite come together

Duchovny is good though, as are the rest of the cast. It seems an odd thing to say but Manson is so clearly portrayed as evil from the off that you wonder why anyone would follow him, despite how charismatic he is. From what I understand of real life he didn't quite get bitter and paranoid until just before the Tate/Labianca murders, but really that's just a minor criticism. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of it shapes up.

Manson is fascinating because he becomes this dark embodiment of the failed American dream, more so because he came at a time when the US was going through social upheavel. He seems intrinsinctly linked to that.

Plus on a surface level, his story seemed one of someone who was soundly rejected by Hollywood and so decided on their own way if becoming famous.
