Started watching this on the flight home today, I'm definitely in. They even represented the home town, Wichita, KS and BTK...

The dude playing Ed Kemper is killing it..he reminds me of the Ed Kemper videos from when he was interviewed a few decades back...incredibly cold and calculating but likeable and even affable..
 
I’m so dumb I had no idea those guys were real LOL

I also looked at what became of Richard Speck in prison. Dude became a straight bitch.

When I was a Psych major in college (1st of a few majors) we watched the Ed Kemper interviews prior to talking about nature vs nurture...that sparked a long fascination with serial killers. For a few years I read damn near everything I could about them....should have applied for the FBI...

I love this show though...

They are based on real people, but not real themselves. I think only the "major" murders featured in the series were real...

The guy who killed that girl in GA and passed the lie detector test but caved in the interview was real too...I read that the real agents set up the interview just like that too...

Just finished. I think it's interesting that the ended the season with Dennis Rader, aka BTK. He was near the beginning of his spree during season 1. I think that scene where he was in a house, got frustrated and left was the one victim that escaped because she got home later than he expected. I'm guessing he will be active in season 2. He killed 10 people, including one whole family or just about the whole family, around my home town between 74 and 91.

After 91 he went dormant but reaurfaced in 2004 when he began taunting the police and the public. He was arrested in 2005...
 
That shit in 2004 and 2005 was crazy too. People, especially women, were running scared trying to get security systems installed and all kinds of stuff. At the time I was working in the call center at the cable company and I can remember women calling because the technician was in their backyard doing some work on the cable line and they wanted to make sure that it wasn't BTK.

That doesn't surprise me at all. Some women are "busy-bodies" LOLOL.

That's what's crazy about it as it rings true for most of these cats...they had no recourse for a shitty parent because the other wasn't around. Their only recourse was to act out by inflicting their pain on something or someone. But in reality, all they really wanted was for their mother to accept them...

I firmly believe that there is a nature aspect to behavior, however it's manifestation is greatly influenced by nurture, or lack thereof...

That shit was crazy to me. It made me think how ppl with daddy issues don't do shit like this. It's always an issue with the mother that ruined those dude's images of women.

Yea again def interesting

You think for every Ed Kemper, there's hundreds of others who with a similar family background who end up being functional members of the society

Is it he was predisposed to be a certain way and the less than ideal childhood just tips them over?

Would he have ended up killing even if he came from a balanced, loving two parent home?

right

you have ur exceptions like aileen wuornos the serial killer the movie monster is based on. she killed like 6 men. her father was a pedo. not sure about her mother

then the number suggest most serial killers are men

but it is crazy when you look at how men and women deal with abuse and broken homes differently ...but i guess its not surprising considering how men and women relate to the world and our parents differently

makes you think of the limits of human agency as well
