The greatest movie ever made..!

An absolute waste of money

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Very good , I like it , as far as I can tell it is quite accurate. Show makes you sympathize with a Kaczynski, but then it shows innocent people, that were maimed during his attacks. A very well made show, however it has one important flaw. Show intentionally misses the part of his manifesto attributed to leftist quasi-religion about political correctness which plays important role in day to day madness and to modern day hysteria in college campuses.

The first episode of the series has some faults. There is some unnecessary jumping back and forth in time 95 and 97 that is confusing. Don't be put off by this as things get better from the second episode on. There are so many good points about this series. The pursuit is extremely exciting, the linguistic connection is fascinating, the behavior of the stubborn bosses and colleagues at the FBI is frustrating. The episode on the Unabomber's background and reason for insanity is quite shocking. There could have been more scenes of damage to victims and impact on their lives.Acting is good. Chris Noth is convincing as the FBI guy in charge of the investigation. Sam Worthington is the central character James Fitzgerald a profiler who got them in the right direction. He has got the underdog thing going and that's good. His diction isn't clear enough sometimes. Paul Bettany obviously lost weight for the role and he portrays the unique kind of craziness that the genius psychopath has very well. He gives a memorable performance that not many more familiar actors could have done well.The details of the story aren't that familiar to most and the case and court proceedings are quite different from other serial killers. Worth watching

The best part of the show was paul bettany. I have seen many real life events, but i feel like its especially great when you you feel for a character that is such a bad person but onscreen he can make me want to root for him even though he's a bad guy, when you can watch a show or movie and get so involved with a character that you can feel their feelings. Paul bettany gave such a great performance that he would be the only reason why i would suggest anyone to watch this series.

You know what you are going to get when a dramatization contains the description "based on true events", or anything along those lines. You know that some details of the truth will be shaped to provide more drama. You know that some characters will be composites, and some will be invented to improve the narrative.... or at least you should know that. If you are the sort of person who is upset when a character who was a man in real life is recast as a woman, you better give this series a miss. Otherwise, I highly recommend it as a fascinating creation.I am not an expert on the Unabomber story, so I probably do not know where all of the distortions might lie. I was a young adult at the time, and as well informed about the case as anyone with an academic background might have been. One of my professors could have been a target. The facts as were generally known at the time were preserved in this dramatization.In any event, I do know an intelligent, interesting, thought-provoking drama on the rare occasion that I am fortunate enough to happen on one... and this series is the real deal on many levels. See it.
