Horror Aficionados discussion

Anyone watching this? It's on TNT. I've been recording it so I can watch it later on. It's about a series of murder's of young men that take place in 1898, New York. Apparently, there's a deranged unstable killer on the loose and a man who's known as an alienist is trying to solve the crime under the noses of the authorities.

So far I really like it and they say it's the #1 new hit show but a lot of channels claim that lol. But yeah, it's quite a show, very detailed and very well paced.

I am going to start watching it tomorrow!!!!

I wasn't but maybe I should give it a try?

It's really good. I regret waiting three weeks to watch it lol.

Loved the book way back when. It's definitely gorgeous to look at. Still warming up to the characters though.

Thanks Justin! I was not aware of this new show! How much ha e I missed?

Four episodes after tonight. I been recording them to watch later. Its worth watching for sure.

Never read the book but I am interested in the series.

Definitely going to try it! Thanks everyone!!

Still need to catch up as I'm about three episodes behind but so far so good.

One thing I don't get though..why do they have boys dressed up as girls being prostitutes? So weird..

Because even back in the day there were those whose tastes were for boys acting like girls. Not that there's anything wrong with that.... And those who exploited the fact. And because it made for a seedier plot than the tired old Jack the Ripper killing female prostitutes.

Haven't read the Caleb Carr book, but the series is very suspenseful but somewhat graphic. NYC politics of 1890s adds a lot to the advancement of the story.

Yeah I figured as much but I just find it odd there's no girl prostitutes. It definitely makes for a unique storyline that's for sure.

I'm sure there are female prostitutes in the city, but this killer' specifically targets boys, so that's why the police are always investigating them.

People were talking about this in the Mindhunter thread so I thought I'd bring it back up so people could talk about it. This is a good series and definitely has a dark gothic theme. I enjoyed it.

Hey Justin! I definitely love the series. And the writer was dedicated to getting even the smallest details right. I really felt like I was transported to turn of the century New York City.

Agreedm they did a good job in making you feel a part of the surroundings.

Season 2 has been confirmed. It will be based off the second book The Angel of Darkness.

Good News, indeed!
