The episode after Shane was caught on camera agreeing to kill Mackey for Antwon. It ended with Antwon being interrogated.

The new Night Stalker series on Netflix is pretty terrific.
In preparation for watching this I read Ramirez’s wiki. That was a tough read.

We just finished the Netflix doc.

When I was in high school and college, I was fascinated by the psychology of serial offenders like this. (Still am, really, but I don't read as much about it as I did then) What really set Ramirez apart was, for lack of a better phrase, the sheer variety of his evil. Victimology, the number of survivors he left behind, the types of weapons used, the spacing (or lack thereof) between attacks...... in many ways, he had predictable elements of behavior, but in so many others he was really quite scarily unique. If it wasn't for two pieces of evidence - the fingerprints lifted in Orange County and San Francisco, and the shoe prints - it's possible he'd have never been identified, which means the only way he likely would've stopped is if he got picked up for some other crime or died.

We're probably gonna start Mindhunter next. The guy the Tench character is based on is a real dude called Robert Ressler, who I met in the 90s.

Yeah, his randomness is really unheard of when it comes to serial killers/rapists. Old women, young women, male children. It was so bizarre. And while a lot of serial killers look like average guys, something about RR always just seemed evil. I think it's probably because his eyes were so dark, almost black, but the guy gave me the creeps.

Mindhunter is so good. And season 2 is even better in some ways. I'm crushed they'll likely never complete the series, but it's a terrific slow burn show.

Bundy, Dahmer, Gacy, Kemper...... so many of them look normal. But one look at Ramirez and you'd be like "I bet that guy has a pentagram drawn on his hand and does does murder a lot."

Into the Ewan McGregor season of Fargo (Season 3).

I don't know if anyone has seen it, but it was good/fine until the brother dies.

Yep. That was an OK season, but I don’t remember as much about it as the first two.

I got halfway through it, really liked it, but can not stream it now.

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Wed Jan 20, 2021 7:22 pm

I m watching it on Hulu

It's good.

I really liked Season 3. The main antagonist (Varga) was absolutely superb.

Had been seeing them essentially countdown to the end by showing the wraps for Jerry and Maddie, but now they’re done for good. I’m expecting an excellent final season.

I demand 7 more seasons.
