Well what were they going to add onto the series thematically? Simply rehashing the same stories of all of the killers we already know is rather tedious.
David Fincher said he may return to it. Just a question of when. If you want my opinion... I reckon he had a falling out with Netflix. Probably something to do with his long-time friend, Kevin Spacey.
The smile Holden pulled after Manson stuck his tongue out to him, which was exactly like the real one, seemed so honest and unscripted, like the actor was actually surprised by the similarities. Great scene!
Yes I loved that scene too and it's something the real Manson would have done Herriman nailed his performance dead on. I also liked when Manson asked for his sunglasses then hurriedly scribbled something in Holden's copy of Helter Skelter. What he scribbled was "Each night you sleep, I destroy the world. Scary 😱 and the creepy-crawly can you imagine going to bed and waking up and noticing somethings been moved in your house creepy
Fun fact: Damon Herriman who plays Manson here, also played him in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Kinda cool that he got to play the same character at different points in his life
No it isnt. Maybe you need to do a bit of research. There is no evidence to suggest someone can act so well that they become the guy they are playing! You sound absolutely ridiculous. I'm hoping you arent this thick, I'm hoping you just don't understand what 'literally' means. Q
Mindhunter is at its best in the interviews and they are masterful. Kemper's self-awareness, Manson's ruthless exploitation of Tench's sense of guilt for his family problems, Speck's overcompensation, Rissel's surprising insight, every single interview is pitch-perfect. You really get a sense that these are real people, somebody you might bump into in the course of your everyday life. They don't feel like "movie bad guys" despite being every bit as bad as one. Arguably worse. I so wish that Netflix would continue with another season.
I met a guy in 1998 who actually met Manson in prison. He told me Manson had a way of talking to you that made you feel sorry for him, like he was the victim. The character I am watching on the screen when I see this scene is exactly the way the man described Manson to me. This actor did an amazing job.
While I won't say he is a victim, cause he really isn't, there should be a sense of empathy given. He's human, too. And he's got thoughts and opinions, too. Just because he led a a bunch of pseduo-cultists(which lets be honest, in a world full of religious cults, is more than benign) to kill some people, mainly that wrong him(Manson). He should be understood, but this doesn't mean the guy should be forgiven, or let go(when he was alive), or whatever. Just merely understand who he is and why he became the way he did.
David fincher is focusing on his new movie a biopic named Mank based on the real life dispute between the writer(Mank) and the director(orson welles) of Citizen Kane over the credit issues. After that, he will return to making the mindhunter series.
I talked to Holt McCallany, the actor who plays Agent Tench, and he said Fincher definitely wants to continue making Mindhunter after he finished his other projects. I only hope Netflix doesnt say no when David wants to continue a series like 2 years after it was put on hold.

@@bobthestinky7369I love Justified, amazing writing and actors, might be my favorite series of all times... I hope it will be picked up again, not sure if there are any chances but we can always hope.
When I read your comment I thought, 'If I felt weirdly convinced by an actor reciting words as a representation of Charlie Manson, I wouldn't admit it.' But then I realized...I'd have to be possessed of a completely different mind, the kind of mind in which fictional depictions can pass as compelling, even convincing rhetoric. With a mind that slack, most anything is possible.
In a way he has.. he can say: Tex... jump of a bridge. If Tex jump of a bridge, is that because of charly ? But in this case it was murder. So he js also reliable. Except not according to Manson. Since he says no matter what i say, everyone is responsible for his own "circle"
Actually was Fincher's decision it seems. Too tiresome to produce. But I'd also give a lot to see at least season 3 to complete arcs of BTK, Tench's son and Wendy.
Oscar winner Bong Joon Ho is a big fan of the show and he has made a serial killer movie before and he said he always wanted to direct Mindhunter. honestly, they should give season 3 to him. Imagine an Oscar winner director directing this?! damn what a shame Netflix won't go for it.
Everyone's acting in this show is amazing. I sat for a whole episode full and I just realized I'm actually watching a show. Feels like the event really happened before my eyes.
electra heart well, actually no, Netflix and David Fincher (the director of Mindhunter) have had some disputes and Fincher is working on other projects at the moment. It’s just that we may not see the next season for some time, this could change the cast of actors for the show as well.
There's not going to be another season of anything. The world is coming to an end at this moment. We're just going out with a whimper, then maybe a bang.
He’s like 90% Manson. He does a FANTASTIC job playing him, seriously it’s terrifying. But Charles didn’t talk with long responses to questions. He would just talk shite and hullabaloo whenever a question got personal.
This was one of the most phenomenal scenes I've ever seen on any episodic show. The acting was Flawless here... if this guy does not win an Emmy for his portrayal of Manson then the award shows are blind!
Rob These days everyone is way too fuckin sensitive to shit so this actor’s performance might not get credit because people will feel like it’s ‘humanizing’ Manson. Just like how they did the Ted Bundy film
Don't get your hopes up. Last season Cameron Britton who played Ed Kemper ABSOLUTELY deserved his Emmy and was snubbed. Roles like these rarely get awarded because they don't wanna idolize serial killers.
This country has gone haywire in the last few years, everyone gets offended by just about anything you say or do. Hollywood is definitely on The Chopping Block it's unfortunate because these actors from this incredible show deserve a s*** ton of attention.
Notice Manson's expression change when he immediately pegs Holden as a mark. It's creepy how perceptive he is, and how he knows just the right buttons to push.
I love how beneath the facade of insanity there is sanity in the way he speaks, this is such a brilliant piece of filmmaking I absolutely love this scene. Fincher at his best.
Manson always spoke just enough truth to make you nod your head in agreement at how messed up society can sometimes be. That’s what’s really scary. And this actor did a phenomenal job👏🏽🎥✨
You can blame society but if you messed up you also have to blame yourself...Everyone know that murder is wrong even if you grow up in a suck environment, abusive family and ignorant society. They keep playing with the blame card like it's because I grow up with sick society..Keep blaming to prove your crime is innocent is coward..Unless you're psychosis and not personality disorder then you realized the reality and the crime you do but you don't feel guilt because of some factors like genetic(based on current science) or trauma but still know that it is wrong and you can control it..

@@nonyabiznes248 Yeah He is a wonderful actor. It should been him playing Manson in Aquarius. Gethin Anthony was okay. But not even close to Damon Herrimans performance. When I saw this scene in Mindhunters. It actually felt like it was the real Manson.
@Pooh Xi fair shout, his mannerisms are on point. Its jusy pitch. But very good reprisentation of the man himself. Ive always thought Rob Zombie would make a great Manson Movie.
As soon as he walked into the scene I couldn’t believe how much he looked like Charles Manson. It is insane how he looks like him! The casting in this show is amazing!
I met Damon Herriman during the Sydney Film Festival this year when we sat next to one another at a movie. He’s the nicest and humblest guy which is the complete opposite of Manson. Funny enough he just keeps getting typecast as scumbags. But boy does he leave an impression onscreen. What an incredible talent.
He wasn't a scumbag in Love My Way - have you seen it? It's a few years old now, but in a short run it proved itself an amazing show choc full of talent. Easily as good as Six Feet Under, but very Sydney, very Australian.
I've been watching every Manson interview since I was in high school. Like all of you who love this show I'm fascinated by serial killers too. When I heard that this season was gonna have our favorite profilers interview Manson I was ecstatic. The build up was crazy and when it came down to it BOOOY they did not disappoint.
"My bell rings, I get up" "My bell rings, I'm going out." "My bell rings, I'll do what that bell says. I'm Pavlov's dog, man. I'm anything you want me to be" My favourite scene.
I mean copying a voice is quite hard but listen to any manson interview and I would say he did quite a good of a job tbh. A lot of the time they do have the same speech pattern and voice
I'm in the midst of reading "Mindhunter" and Agent John Douglas (inspiration for Holden) writes that Manson actually did sit like that in Behavioural Sciences's interview with him. From studying his history, Douglas deduced that Manson wanted to be like a preacher, giving a sermon, as he did often with his family.
@Brian Walsh You're probably right i watched an interview he did with 60 minutes Australia and he refused to sit down on a shorter chair and look up at anyone.
@@ziudra91 Mate he meant complete opposite, HE describe himself as being their "parent" but he cannot be punished by his children sins as the same way your parents cannot be punsihed if you commit a crime. Same if you make sin you cannot blame God 👍
@@MD-tc3vy @M D The greek god apollo was said to have a golden tongue that could only speak the truth. One day he allowed a wise man to ask him one question, the wise man asked "What is the answer to every question humanity will ever have about the nature of what we do not know". Apollo answered:
"One is all, all is one As it is above, so it is below As it is with the gods, so it is within you" Just as a sinner cannot blame God for his sins, the child cannot blame the parent for theirs.
I'm amazed, I've binge watched all of the Manson prison tapes and even some of the trial tapes; and this by far is a chillingly brilliant adaptation of Charle's character. The face, the hair, the beard, the vocal inflections and mannerisms. Simply amazed at how the actor has pulled it all off, and now I gotta binge watch the show as well. It's honestly as perfect an impersonation of a character as I have ever seen, I'm completely struck lol.
As soon as this episode ended, I looked up if they used a deepfake or a voice modulator for Manson's actor. Nope. Just an insanely detailed and spot-on performance. I was absolutely floored
2:31 to 2:59 that is such a Powerful dialouge between the two of them, from the story point of this entire show, we know that, that officer's son is kinda 'different', and shows the same traits as most of the serial killers showed at a very young, that these guys are talking to, it would ironic if his son turns out this way, but when mansons character said, 'your own children that you are ignoring' I couldn't help but think about that officer's son. That is a very interesting story line there, unfortunately if the show is cancelled we'll never know how it ends up.
It is implied, He could have some anti-social traits. We also know the boy does not like men, with him avoiding his father quite a bit. Maybe something happened before his adoption
I've watch many Manson interviews. And it's like the show didn't write lines for him, cause it's feels as if they just copy and paste from the real Manson. Just feels like something he'd actually say. Same with Bray Wyatt from the WWE.
One thing I love, and I don't know if it was intentional, is how Charles Manson was foreshadowed in Season 1 as the epitome of pure evil genius, and how in Season 2 there was such a build-up to his arrival, he was the One, the golden key to understand how an genius psychopath, a criminal mastermind, functioned. When we finally get there, the anticipation is intense: the camera zooms in, the chains rattle in the distance like warning us he is come, at last. Holden even stands up slowly, almost reverentially, and respectfully passes the microphone asking for his permission. And for a while you're also thinking: "Oh, my God, it's THE Charles Manson" And then Manson appears... And talks... He is so insecure about his height that he sits on top of the chair in a pathetic attempt to establish dominance. His entire speech is just him blabbering about blaming others, trying to sound deep and look like the victim. He doesn't seem or sound that smart, and contrary to what many get from the interaction, I don't think he was getting under Bill's skin, much less manipulating him; on the contrary, Bill was furious, and he spoke to Manson the way he did because he recognized who and what he was and wanted to put him in his place ("You f*ing midget"). So, by the end of this scene -even halfway through this scene-, I was astonished by how the show had successfully brought Manson down from the pedestal it had deliberately put him before, and told us that despite all his evil and cunning, Charles Manson was not a genius or a criminal mastermind. He was really just a pathetic, dumb, coward and mediocre loser filled with spite and malice.
I kinda disagree with the Bill thing. I really do think Manson was getting under Bill's skin, and Bill became aggressive because it was a "stressor" as Manson seemed to have spoken of things resonating with his current life. But I do agree with the rest of what you said! This scene did feel like they put him up in so high a pedestal, then made you realize he is just pathetic after all. But notice how even in the comment section, there are a lot of people who seemed to relate with what he said, and several even quoted him as if in reverence. So it's kinda a mix of both, I think. He can lure you in, but not in the sense that "oh, he is so smart and a genius" like with Kemper, but more like "he is not so different than me, he's also weak, I can relate to him." Which I think fits his cult leader persona very well.
wow, rude much. but I agree with what ur talking about. the only thing I like about the real Charlie is this man's humor and HE SINGS really well or at least I like how he sings. but contrary to what ur saying, he can be deep sometimes
manson's words were not entire garbage. we do live in our mental prisons. he was indeed a product of prison system given the fact that he had been incarcerated since he was a boy. he does ask a relevant question that how a person becomes a person? is it by what child learns from parents? and he did get under agent tench's skin. he reacted angrily as he realized that he was responsible in a way for what his son experienced/did.
You sound like an asshole incapable of understanding people outside of your own zone and philosophy and understanding their feelings and why they do what they do. It’s people like you that breed people like Manson.
You need to look at your game, buddy. Manson was a MKULTRA Prodigal Son.... Just like Ken Kasey, like Ginsberg... 2 sides of a CIA/Pentagon Minted coin that in the end proved that you can never Kontrol Minds with Psychedelics and Hallucinogens, and yet still wea;ponise it not through the chemical itself, but the culture around it. You sir, are a fool, as are we all.... The beginning of Wisdom. May you reach enlightenment. Manson was many things... Stupid is definitely not one. He knew he should never have been let outta the cage before it took 2 murders, a pantheon of expert witnesses and god knows how many armchair pyschs... He knew, and warned them, many times... And the moment he reached the Nirvana of the Haight Ashbury, he provided a dose of reality for those that thought FlOwEr PoWer was going to save us all.
The guy who plays Ed Kemper was amazing but the man who played Charlie…..OH MY GOD!!!!!!!! Complete transformation. I thought I was literally looking at the real Charlie Manson
Charlie did ramble and talk a whole lot without actually SAYING ANYTHING but he also SPOKE THE TRUTH about people who were stepped over if they were LUCKY enough not to be stepped on first!! The actors that portrayed the "KILLER'S" were AMAZING!!!
That’s what cult leaders like Manson preyed on. They lured in vulnerable and hurt people who are looking for meaning and support. They are the kinds of people who would easily fall for cults because they are easily impressionable.
I love how this scene uses Manson's character as a way to make tench question his parenting abilities after the incident his son was involved in. Not to mention the uncanny portrayal by a gifted actor from the same country as yours truly.
This is actually the same actor who played Charles Manson in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood aswell. Quentin Tarantino didn't even realize that until after the movie was filmed.
That’s not true at all. Quentin was 100% aware. This is a quote from Damon, the guy who played Charles Manson: “He knew that I’d done it. It would have been weird to keep that a secret. But it didn’t come up much. He said at one point while we were shooting, ‘You’ve done Fincher’s thing already?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, it was a couple weeks ago.’ He said, ‘Cool, how’d that go?’ I said, ‘Great.’ He didn’t ask about any of it other than that”
My God, the casting director has to be the best ever, the resemblance of the killers such as, Charles Manson, Ed Kemper, Richard Speck, is just amazing. When I saw the thumbnail of Ed Kemper, the real one, side by side with the actor, I couldn't get over it. There's an interview with the Kemper actor, he shows you the final touch of the transformation in to Ed, is complete when he puts the glasses on. He sounds like Ed so much it gave me chills. Now, I heard season three is delayed.
The most disturbing thing (besides the accuracy of this preformance) to me is the fact that while he was clearly insane. Manson did always seem to speak some sort of wisdom. Ofcourse what he did was way extreme and horrifying. But I can't help but feel that in some other life, under different circumstances maybe he would've made a great poet, writer or journalist or something.
On a rewatch of the show. Best part about this interview is its irony. Holden and Tench go there to find out, through interviewing Manson, how he got those teenagers to kill for him, how he manipulated someone to become a murderer. Little do they notice that right away, Manson manipulated both of them. Holden was completely mesmerized and pretty much unable to shine in an interview, something that is his specialty, and Tench got immediately caught up in anger as Manson struck a nerve by repeatedly talking about "your children". This is likely the best scene of the entire series. A shame it got cancelled.
Its actually spine chilling how much he looks and sounds like Manson
Its cgi man
Sounds nothing like him. Looks like him fine.
Damn, my spine cold asf.

Wait is he the same guy that play hand in hunger game?
Dude should have been given awards for this guest spot.
He’s like 90% Manson. He does a FANTASTIC job playing him, seriously it’s terrifying. But Charles didn’t talk with long responses to questions. He would just talk shite and hullabaloo whenever a question got personal.
The actors words are nearly word-for-word from the actual interview.
well if that is the case then that wouldn't be as entertaining as this so thats probably why the took this approach
Yeah just watched this after literally hours of Manson interviews and he coulda been a lot better
You saw that one interview of him at the court and you think that's always how he talks.
didn't realize all of you were Charles Manson experts? Ya'll sat in on interviews with him? That's awesome. Tell me all about it please.
This was one of the most phenomenal scenes I've ever seen on any episodic show. The acting was Flawless here... if this guy does not win an Emmy for his portrayal of Manson then the award shows are blind!
Rob These days everyone is way too fuckin sensitive to shit so this actor’s performance might not get credit because people will feel like it’s ‘humanizing’ Manson. Just like how they did the Ted Bundy film
Don't get your hopes up. Last season Cameron Britton who played Ed Kemper ABSOLUTELY deserved his Emmy and was snubbed. Roles like these rarely get awarded because they don't wanna idolize serial killers.
This country has gone haywire in the last few years, everyone gets offended by just about anything you say or do. Hollywood is definitely on The Chopping Block it's unfortunate because these actors from this incredible show deserve a s*** ton of attention.
@@alterbria yep, you are correct that was a major snub.
Rob exactly
The same actor repeated his role in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
For 25 seconds
For one scene in an alternate universe.
Yup
Lol he found his niche
And rightfully so , that's the best Charles Manson I have ever seen
Please don't cancel the show. It is one of the best things on Netflix. We need more seasons
It wasn't cancelled, it seems the writer just found it tiring to produce and write the show and wanted to focus on other shows
Australian actor Damon Herriman plays Manson so believably - he has been playing deranged and strange characters for years - underrated like Paul Dano

Notice Manson's expression change when he immediately pegs Holden as a mark. It's creepy how perceptive he is, and how he knows just the right buttons to push.
And he got Tench, that surprised me but he knew what to say when he hit a nerve
I love how beneath the facade of insanity there is sanity in the way he speaks, this is such a brilliant piece of filmmaking I absolutely love this scene. Fincher at his best.
“Your own children that you are neglecting”
Dang Charlie hit a nerve with agent Tench!! Bill must be thinking, wtf how does he know....
Because he saw it happen
I love how they interwoven bill’s home turbulences with what manson had to say there .. that’s brilliant writing
"You taught em, I didn't teach em. I only taught them to stand up." Same lines were used in Helter Skelter movie (1976)
Show's crazy DETAILED bruh!
If he taught them to stand up....thats still teaching someone something, WHAT AN IDIOT.
@@YourPalFry he means he didnt teach them about how to use a knife for murder or whatever
@@YourPalFry What are you doing in 2021?? Did The Professor mess up the timeline again?
That's because it's a real line, word for word, from his court hearing.
Manson always spoke just enough truth to make you nod your head in agreement at how messed up society can sometimes be. That’s what’s really scary. And this actor did a phenomenal job👏🏽🎥✨
So he could blame shift.
Look on UA-cam at SATANISTS REACT TO PINK FLOYD
You can blame society but if you messed up you also have to blame yourself...Everyone know that murder is wrong even if you grow up in a suck environment, abusive family and ignorant society. They keep playing with the blame card like it's because I grow up with sick society..Keep blaming to prove your crime is innocent is coward..Unless you're psychosis and not personality disorder then you realized the reality and the crime you do but you don't feel guilt because of some factors like genetic(based on current science) or trauma but still know that it is wrong and you can control it..
@@muhammadfirdausabdulmanaf7354 .What makes someone a killer?

I met Damon Herriman during the Sydney Film Festival this year when we sat next to one another at a movie. He’s the nicest and humblest guy which is the complete opposite of Manson. Funny enough he just keeps getting typecast as scumbags. But boy does he leave an impression onscreen. What an incredible talent.
Maybe because he's good at it?
He wasn't a scumbag in Love My Way - have you seen it? It's a few years old now, but in a short run it proved itself an amazing show choc full of talent. Easily as good as Six Feet Under, but very Sydney, very Australian.
I almost always assume that actors who play scumbags are probably cool in real life. XD
Fun fact: they actually got the real Charles Manson to play the role here. Even invented a "bring back to life" serum just for this scene.
I thought only I knew this.
I looked it up and he's exaggerating: They didn't make the serum specifically *just* for this scene.
It was a happy coincidence.
fun fact: you are not funny in the slightest and you are a ret-arded zoomer who copy jokes from other zoomers.
@@Delightfully_Witchywhat in the fuck are you two going on about 😂
I've been watching every Manson interview since I was in high school. Like all of you who love this show I'm fascinated by serial killers too. When I heard that this season was gonna have our favorite profilers interview Manson I was ecstatic. The build up was crazy and when it came down to it BOOOY they did not disappoint.
The casting and performances of each of the real life killers in this show is so incredibly spot on. I will be rewatching these interviews!
"My bell rings, I get up"
"My bell rings, I'm going out."

However he didn’t talk like Charlie Manson.

I mean copying a voice is quite hard but listen to any manson interview and I would say he did quite a good of a job tbh. A lot of the time they do have the same speech pattern and voice

Totally an amazing performance. So good you almost think it really is Manson !
Wish he would've been in "Aquarius" instead of that lifeless actor they hired for Manson.
in a previous scene Kemper mentions that he's very short so avoid staring....and then Manson sits like that on a chair..cool.
Probably so he could sit above them and look down. Gives him a sense of superiority.
@@brianwalsh1401 I think he was just short.
This is a myth. He was 5'6 IRL. Only an inch or two below average height at the time.
I'm in the midst of reading "Mindhunter" and Agent John Douglas (inspiration for Holden) writes that Manson actually did sit like that in Behavioural Sciences's interview with him. From studying his history, Douglas deduced that Manson wanted to be like a preacher, giving a sermon, as he did often with his family.
@Brian Walsh You're probably right i watched an interview he did with 60 minutes Australia and he refused to sit down on a shorter chair and look up at anyone.
This scene just shows how manipulative he really was
@@charlesK12960 Yup Manson is partially right.
It\s largely the parents fault if their kids end fucked up.

Just as a sinner cannot blame God for his sins, the child cannot blame the parent for theirs.
This is by far the best portrayal of mason .
I'm amazed, I've binge watched all of the Manson prison tapes and even some of the trial tapes; and this by far is a chillingly brilliant adaptation of Charle's character. The face, the hair, the beard, the vocal inflections and mannerisms. Simply amazed at how the actor has pulled it all off, and now I gotta binge watch the show as well. It's honestly as perfect an impersonation of a character as I have ever seen, I'm completely struck lol.

As soon as this episode ended, I looked up if they used a deepfake or a voice modulator for Manson's actor. Nope. Just an insanely detailed and spot-on performance. I was absolutely floored
This performance by Herriman is riveting. Emmy-level stuff. The gentleman portraying Kemper is equally mesmerizing.
2:31 to 2:59 that is such a Powerful dialouge between the two of them, from the story point of this entire show, we know that, that officer's son is kinda 'different', and shows the same traits as most of the serial killers showed at a very young, that these guys are talking to, it would ironic if his son turns out this way, but when mansons character said, 'your own children that you are ignoring' I couldn't help but think about that officer's son.
That is a very interesting story line there, unfortunately if the show is cancelled we'll never know how it ends up.
It is implied, He could have some anti-social traits. We also know the boy does not like men, with him avoiding his father quite a bit. Maybe something happened before his adoption

Jim Carey is as tall as the black guard so no

Facts
Kinda the only reason I clicked this video 😂
I've watch many Manson interviews. And it's like the show didn't write lines for him, cause it's feels as if they just copy and paste from the real Manson. Just feels like something he'd actually say. Same with Bray Wyatt from the WWE.
Rikem Sheppard agree on the bray wyatt thing big time, can tell one of brays biggest influence was manson, crazy stuff
@@camduffy3924 he even sang the "hey now I'm all around you.
Just like the scenes of Ed Kemper.
@@PrivilegedWhiteRabbit yea looked and sounded very much alike
That’s what they do with this show
One thing I love, and I don't know if it was intentional, is how Charles Manson was foreshadowed in Season 1 as the epitome of pure evil genius, and how in Season 2 there was such a build-up to his arrival, he was the One, the golden key to understand how an genius psychopath, a criminal mastermind, functioned.
When we finally get there, the anticipation is intense: the camera zooms in, the chains rattle in the distance like warning us he is come, at last. Holden even stands up slowly, almost reverentially, and respectfully passes the microphone asking for his permission.
And for a while you're also thinking: "Oh, my God, it's THE Charles Manson"
And then Manson appears... And talks... He is so insecure about his height that he sits on top of the chair in a pathetic attempt to establish dominance. His entire speech is just him blabbering about blaming others, trying to sound deep and look like the victim. He doesn't seem or sound that smart, and contrary to what many get from the interaction, I don't think he was getting under Bill's skin, much less manipulating him; on the contrary, Bill was furious, and he spoke to Manson the way he did because he recognized who and what he was and wanted to put him in his place ("You f*ing midget").
So, by the end of this scene -even halfway through this scene-, I was astonished by how the show had successfully brought Manson down from the pedestal it had deliberately put him before, and told us that despite all his evil and cunning, Charles Manson was not a genius or a criminal mastermind. He was really just a pathetic, dumb, coward and mediocre loser filled with spite and malice.
I kinda disagree with the Bill thing. I really do think Manson was getting under Bill's skin, and Bill became aggressive because it was a "stressor" as Manson seemed to have spoken of things resonating with his current life.
But I do agree with the rest of what you said! This scene did feel like they put him up in so high a pedestal, then made you realize he is just pathetic after all.
But notice how even in the comment section, there are a lot of people who seemed to relate with what he said, and several even quoted him as if in reverence.
So it's kinda a mix of both, I think. He can lure you in, but not in the sense that "oh, he is so smart and a genius" like with Kemper, but more like "he is not so different than me, he's also weak, I can relate to him."
Which I think fits his cult leader persona very well.
wow, rude much. but I agree with what ur talking about. the only thing I like about the real Charlie is this man's humor and HE SINGS really well or at least I like how he sings. but contrary to what ur saying, he can be deep sometimes
manson's words were not entire garbage. we do live in our mental prisons. he was indeed a product of prison system given the fact that he had been incarcerated since he was a boy. he does ask a relevant question that how a person becomes a person? is it by what child learns from parents? and he did get under agent tench's skin. he reacted angrily as he realized that he was responsible in a way for what his son experienced/did.
You sound like an asshole incapable of understanding people outside of your own zone and philosophy and understanding their feelings and why they do what they do. It’s people like you that breed people like Manson.
You need to look at your game, buddy. Manson was a MKULTRA Prodigal Son.... Just like Ken Kasey, like Ginsberg... 2 sides of a CIA/Pentagon Minted coin that in the end proved that you can never Kontrol Minds with Psychedelics and Hallucinogens, and yet still wea;ponise it not through the chemical itself, but the culture around it.
You sir, are a fool, as are we all.... The beginning of Wisdom. May you reach enlightenment.
Manson was many things... Stupid is definitely not one. He knew he should never have been let outta the cage before it took 2 murders, a pantheon of expert witnesses and god knows how many armchair pyschs... He knew, and warned them, many times... And the moment he reached the Nirvana of the Haight Ashbury, he provided a dose of reality for those that thought FlOwEr PoWer was going to save us all.
Mindhunter deserved more seasons
I could swear Holden blushed in the beginning when Manson stuck his tongue out 😂
Batman: I'm Vengeance
Joker: I'm the agent of chaos
Manson: hold my LSD
Anyone else finds it hilarious how starstruck Holden is? He’s always acting like a fanboy around the serial killers
understandably tbh
Holden is a serial killer.

Everything here is amazing. Looks, dialogue, and everything else. Except for the voice, he was quieter and its slightly different.
who else started laughing when manson stuck his tongue out
Charlie did ramble and talk a whole lot without actually SAYING ANYTHING but he also SPOKE THE TRUTH about people who were stepped over if they were LUCKY enough not to be stepped on first!! The actors that portrayed the "KILLER'S" were AMAZING!!!
That’s what cult leaders like Manson preyed on. They lured in vulnerable and hurt people who are looking for meaning and support. They are the kinds of people who would easily fall for cults because they are easily impressionable.
The physical depiction of Charles is on-fucking-point
I love how this scene uses Manson's character as a way to make tench question his parenting abilities after the incident his son was involved in. Not to mention the uncanny portrayal by a gifted actor from the same country as yours truly.

Bro how did this show get such accurate look alikes, thats wild
And when is a new season coming out, ive been waiting😴
For the slightest second I swear I really became convinced they somehow managed to get Charles Manson himself to play the role.

This show did such an amazing job making the actors look like their real-life counterparts. I wish it was longer than two seasons.
This show and Dark (also on Netflix) have incredible casting
I've watched many interviews with Charles Manson and this actor nailed it!
Imagine if his voice was more accurate. You wouldn’t be able to tell him apart from the real thing. Still phenomenal performance.
Love how Holden stands up to show respect to the one serial killer he admires and can't wait to get his autograph. 😆
This is actually the same actor who played Charles Manson in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood aswell.
Quentin Tarantino didn't even realize that until after the movie was filmed.
Does he expect us to believe the actor never told him?
Fishels shuuut up already. We all fucking know
That’s not true at all. Quentin was 100% aware. This is a quote from Damon, the guy who played Charles Manson:
“He knew that I’d done it. It would have been weird to keep that a secret. But it didn’t come up much. He said at one point while we were shooting, ‘You’ve done Fincher’s thing already?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, it was a couple weeks ago.’ He said, ‘Cool, how’d that go?’ I said, ‘Great.’ He didn’t ask about any of it other than that”
Amazing scene & show. The agents' body language tells you everything they think & feel about Manson, who was so perfectly cast.
This show is so underrated. It's fantastic
the way Manson smiles at holden when he moves the mic toward at the beginning is an amazing scene
It’s weird that he never actually killed anyone.
Almost like he was a scapegoat......

he was enlightened, and for that very reason the government saw him as a threat to awaken society. So they framed him...

My God, the casting director has to be the best ever, the resemblance of the killers such as, Charles Manson, Ed Kemper, Richard Speck, is just amazing. When I saw the thumbnail of Ed Kemper, the real one, side by side with the actor, I couldn't get over it. There's an interview with the Kemper actor, he shows you the final touch of the transformation in to Ed, is complete when he puts the glasses on. He sounds like Ed so much it gave me chills.
Now, I heard season three is delayed.
The sound of chains in the beginning is so creepy! An evil chained monster is coming for his interview!
This show deffo deserved a season 3
Please please please bring this show back!!!
He looks more like Charles Manson than the real man does
The most disturbing thing (besides the accuracy of this preformance) to me is the fact that while he was clearly insane. Manson did always seem to speak some sort of wisdom. Ofcourse what he did was way extreme and horrifying. But I can't help but feel that in some other life, under different circumstances maybe he would've made a great poet, writer or journalist or something.
On a rewatch of the show. Best part about this interview is its irony. Holden and Tench go there to find out, through interviewing Manson, how he got those teenagers to kill for him, how he manipulated someone to become a murderer. Little do they notice that right away, Manson manipulated both of them. Holden was completely mesmerized and pretty much unable to shine in an interview, something that is his specialty, and Tench got immediately caught up in anger as Manson struck a nerve by repeatedly talking about "your children". This is likely the best scene of the entire series. A shame it got cancelled.
