It's just high levels of empathy.

It felt forced, like they somehow needed to keep Ana Torv in the show without her having much of an impact in the general plot of the show.
I agree but that was mainly because they lost the lead actor (who was a prick on set). I checked out after season 5 or 6, too many repetitive storylines
Anyone else agree that the story with Tench's kid was a bit too dark?
Kinda. I guess they're trying to relate Manson's claim of being an abandoned child of a careless society, and Nancy & Bill's anxiety about being unaware of Brian's life before they adopted him.
The end didn't make sense to me in that how would she be able to keep the kid if she leaves her husband and breaks up the stable home environment?
Im guessing a cliffhanger for the next season.,
Yeah that paid off the interaction between Tench and Manson quite well.
Yeah go back to the start of this thread and some posters are slaughtering it here.
Very surprised as I say.
I didn't enjoy that season as much as the first. None of the sub plots did anything for me and the main case kind of fizzled out.
I think it's more sinister than that.
I thought the lezzer was a bit of a stereotype and the reason for dumping her was pretty cack. At least they didn't have Holden bone that hotel receptionist though.
Loved the season finale! Probably the best episode to date!
Fantastic show!
Fantastic show!
It felt like a too convenient (for the plot) coincidence that Tench's kid had to be involved in something so bizarre. I would have preferred if it was something more subtle, like maybe a dead pet and Tench getting paranoid of this being an early warning sign.
Yeah that would have worked better for me.
Yeah but you gotta love a little crucifixion, really underrated this past couple of millenia.
Catching him torturing animals and setting fires would have been more believable.
Crucifying a child is an impressive start though you have to say
Yeah, every lad goes through that phase.
Those are common traits of serial killers when young, as well as bedwetting which was shown.
I was joking
Holden looks like Emmanuel Macron.
Its a bit of a meme over in France
My talents are wasted down here.
Might be something everyone was already aware of but I just saw the list of directors on this show. Aside from Fincher himself you also have Asif Kapadia (director of the excellent documentaries Senna, Amy and Maradonna), Tobias Lindholm (director of the Oscar nominated A War) and Andrew Dominick (director of the brilliant The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford). Not too shabby a collection.
This line of thinking (known as the Macdonald Triad), popular in the ‘60s and ‘70s, is now thought to be invalid in relation to indicating potential homicidal tendencies and instead indicators of parental neglect, abuse or brutality.
How many cigarettes did Tench smoke in total ? Do actors get special compensations for that if they don't smoke in real life ?
I've wondered the same with Cillian Murphy in Peaky Blinders. Seems to be smoking in near enough every scene.
Those feckers keep giving me the urge to go back smoking.
I was wondering the same. Surely the industry has safe ‘cigarettes’ that actors smoke (akin to the apple juice trick when drinking ‘whiskey’ in scenes), no?
They do. My friend is an actor and on stage they use some herbal cigarettes that are essentially harmless (and they don't inhale them) and on screen they just use them and/or the electronic ones and clever camera techniques.
Jon Hamm smoked herbal cigarettes for Mad Men too.
Isn't there currently a problem with electronic cigarettes in the US ? Some people seem to have gotten sick
Yeah and he said it was a nightmare because he used to be a heavy smoker. That's dedication!
Supposedly it’s more to do with vaping weed, than nicotine. There’s a lot of vitamin E in the cartridges which is unsafe to inhale.
Based on a real life case apparently. It didn't happen to an FBI agent though, obviously.
Well not the agent Tench is based on anyway.
What episode was this? Ive just finished season 2 and cant remember it all
I hate the way that Holden talks. Why the pathetic soft weakass voice? Just talk like a normal person FFS.
Only halfway through season 2, loving it. Very good show.
