I love this series - even more than I thought I was going to like it. I am not sure if it is because of the plot or the content ie period cars, gear, etc...I did notice they seem to flip between a Thunderbird and a cougar quite a bit.No idea. I didn't even think about the gear because I was intrigued by those very short still photo clips.
Found this on YouTube that reveals more of those images.
Link for those wondering about the gear...
What did you think about the series? I found it very interesting and binge watched it over a couple nights. It's very "expository" - lots of talking and not a lot of action, but that's OK by me. The interviews with serial killers are a real treat.
That and detective Hench's wicked awesome blacked out digital gold-tone watch.Yeah - the period correct cars, decor, etc. is all pretty good and lends a nice "feel" to the series. As for cars - I think the guys drive Rental Cars all the time when they are out on the road, or they pull something from the local FBI office motor pool.
I think this very truth is the biggest reason I love this series. Can you imagine proposing "psychology" to a bunch of guys from "Mad Men"? What a challenge that must have been. Also, how do you limit the words a person can use? lol.I love this series! You know the characters are based on real FBI agents who started doing behavioral analysis? There's an episode where they start using the term serial killer... all this was very cutting edge at the time.

The FBI would not allow the use of certain words back then - deviant word list. Mostly sexual in nature, some of these words were preposterous - Klismophelia?I missed something... ? Not sure what you are referring to.

Like you, I was very curious about that beautiful reel-to-reel used in the opening credits. I found this online:Anyone challenged themselves to identify the gear used for the intro?
Like you, I was very curious about that beautiful reel-to-reel used in the opening credits. I found this online:
The reel to reel tape recorder featured in the opening credits (and later in the series) is based on the Sony TC-510-2. It is not a real recorder, but rather a prop, custom-built to an extremely high standard of finish.
This seems far fetched at best, why would they do that when they could just use the real thing? It would probably cost more than an entire episodes budget to do that.
