Agreed. Writing and acting was amazing. Shows like this get dropped and the Alienist hangs around, because those characters are more foregiveable. They’re more palatable. These characters are too flawed and real, and unlike Deadwood and some others of this caliber, it’s very very dark. I’m a nerd and as a child I had very old relatives who lived at the turn of the century. I think a lot about what the world was like before technology so I can’t get enough.

I had to stop watching the Alienist due to the killing of babies/children. Way too dark for my taste! I, too, was upset that it was canceled and Clive Owen was spot on as the lead character!
