La Vie Not Rose

👾Esperaba mucho de la segunda temporada y aunque no tiene tantas escenas con la tensión de la primera, cumple. Lo mejor es que los personajes están lo suficientemente bien desarrollados como para interesarnos por ellos y no sólo por el retrato que hacen de los asesinos. Es una combinación perfecta entre lo que quieres saber (o no, mejor) de los criminales y si Ford va a colapsar (que por cierto, dejaron un poco olvidado eso a partir del episodio 3) o cómo pisotean el trabajo de Wendy.

Claro que me pareció un tanto telenovelezco y ‘conveniente’ que uno de los protagonistas tuviera “al enemigo en casa”, pero por supuesto, que le agregó muchísimo a la historia. Me quedé pensando en cómo le hubiera ido a Mindhunter si hubiera salido con episodios semanales y creo que todo mundo estaría hablando de ella.

Qué impacto con el retrato que hacen sobre el caso principal (basado en un hecho real) y qué final, sin un mínimo de sangre es de lo más perturbador. Tengo que prometerme no maratonear esta serie por las noches.

👾I had my hopes at the highest with this one, and we had to wait so much for it ! It doesn’t carry the tension than the 1st one had in various scenes (let’s remember that finale with Ed Kemper and Ford face to face), but it definitely mantains the bar high. Best of it s that the characters are so well developed that  we have a genuine interest for them and not only for what they dealing with, I mean great characterizations but Mindhunter is not there only to see in Wikipedia what really happened in real life. 

It’s there to transmit a bit of the anxiety of it’s characters; perfect combination between what there is to know about the leads and about the criminals (maybe not that much of these last ones), I would have wanted for them to go further with Ford’s crisis and see Wendy’s sexist struggle with their chief.

Quite obvious the ‘twist’ of one of the main characters about having his enemy under his same roof, but hey that was key in this season. I wonder what would have happened with #Mindhunter if it had been broadcasted with weekly episodes… I think everyone would be talking about it.

What a shock the fidelity of the portrait of the murderers, and once again striking and – very – haunting finale. And with no blood nor extreme violence needed. I have to promise myself not to see this at night. 🌚
