Yeah, I had to stop half way into Ep1 and I had a lot of "why am I watching this?" moments.
Will stick with it and I do give it the benefit of thinking that the main guy is how he is on purpose. But man... Talk about a weird and unfun main guy.

There's a ton of location shooting in this.

woah, mind blown. Thats totally right
It's deliberate, but I don't think Groff quite nails what he's going for in the early episodes. It makes more sense by the end.

"Fuck off, Holden, I'm going golfing..."

When you start a tv series, you gotta at least watch a few episodes, or I'd say one season of it to form a plausible judgment, watching only ONE episode and deciding that it's not good or something is not fair
And I don't get the criticism for the lead character, he was supposed to be like that and Groff nailed it.

Speaking on that, one other little quirk I enjoyed was the gigantic thick white font announcing a city whenever one of the important characters went somewhere new / returned somewhere significant.

The way he acts in the beginning seemed kind of cheesy to me until I made it further in and realized how much he changes over the course of the season. I can totally understand why someone would watch the first episode and be put off.
I would agree that the final episode felt more like a penultimate.

The whole season to me felt like an introduction. Like it was just starting off. Which is fine Im ok with it I just hope they really REALLY knock it out of the park with season two.
I wouldnt mind if the show was even slower as well. Hopefully those rewrites Fincher ordered are great
The second episode was very eh also.
From 3 on youre golden.

Yep, subbed to those two channels as well. Good stuff.

I'm interested in how they're
going to incorporate BTK on the show. Will they actively try to find the killer or will they use him in some other way? Because there is such a long time before his last known kill until he got caught(91-2005) and he took multiple years between killing sometimes, so if they make him one of the overlying themes of the show, it would have to span decades, which probably means multiple in-season time jumps. And then in the end, it wasn't criminal psychology that caught him, it was his own ego playing "catch me if you can" with the police. So I'm really curious on why they chose him as a main centerpiece. They obviously have something in mind and chose him for a reason, Fincher knows his shit.

Great show. I liked all of it.
Really wanted more scenes to be chatting to killers.
But some of the applied stuff was neat.
Foot tickling ewww.
2019 until season 2? Dang son!

The principal episode was weird but the
.
wife showing up was actually a well acted scene by her
Well, he didn't direct all the episodes.
