The Alienist
Anyone going to watch this? It just seems something that might appeal to our group. 
I remember reading the book when it first came out back in the 90's and enjoying it very much.
Watched a sneak peek of the first episode last night and it seems well done and caught my interest enough to want to see more.

Re: The Alienist
I don't think I've heard of it before.
Knowing what I'm going to be up to this semester, I don't think I'll have time to keep up with it. I also don't know if we get this channel at school or if I get the channel it's on at home, either. It sounds like an interesting premise, though.
Clueing for looks.

Re: The Alienist
Thanks for posting. I remember reading the novel and liking it very much. Is it on Netflix?

Re: The Alienist
I already saw some Tumblr posts shipping Daniel Brühl and another actor.
