six episodes in, this show is way better than I expected. It's differently paced than a lot of other shows, and definitely could not have worked as a regularly airing TV show, the way it's written and edited. It's textured. I'm not usually a fan of serial killer-related stuff, but this show manages to take the salacious, lurid aspects out, and dig into the psychology of both killers and the people who try to understand and catch them. Some people aren't a fan of Groff's performance as Holden Ford, but I think he walks a delicate line between genuinely nice, idealistic agent and potential psychopath. and Holt McCallany is just fabulous. Tench comes across as an rear end in a top hat at first, but he's got a lot of heart, and he's more grounded and doesn't lose sight of what these fuckers they interview have done. I also like how it's a period piece, but it doesn't feel like a weird time capsule. Like HEY GUYS THIS IS THE 70'S. the only aspect that betrays that is some of the musical choices. It could do with less popular music from that era, or at least less obvious choices than Baker Street and Psycho Killer. also Anna Torv....
