I saw a preview for it but I'm not really sure of the premise. I should probably check it out or read more to figure it out.

It looks good to me and I heard that all the episodes would be online after tonight's episode. I've always been a fan of David Duchovny.

I'm looking forward to it. Does anyone know where the name Aquarius comes from? Am I missing a reference of some sort?

I'm looking forward to it. Does anyone know where the name Aquarius comes from? Am I missing a reference of some sort? I assume it is a play on the song Aquarius from "Hair" (and The 5th Dimension). Somewhat of a 60's anthem, I think.

I was interested in it but my dh's response is basically "too soon." To him it will always be too soon for a Charles Manson tv show. I pointed out that the heroes are the detectives in this, but he didn't care. He doesn't think Manson deserves a tv biopic no matter how he's portrayed.

Is this the show about Charles Manson? I don't think it's all about Charles Manson, but I know he does meet Manson way before he does the killings.

I hope that anything that makes a profit dealing with that murderer goes to support Sharon Tate's sister in her fight to keep it and it's followers in prison.

I don't know, just reading anything about Manson just makes me feel yucky.... Unclean.

Wasn't the sixties sometimes called "The Age of Aquarius"? At least I think of the sixties when I hear that.

From what I've read, it's just a 60s cop show. The Charles Manson aspect seems to be a teaser element designed to attract people to the show.

Just started here on the west coast. I'm so old that I remember all this live, I was there. The 60s were a lot of fun, lots of drugs and lots of sex. But there were also some really strange goings on with the entire Manson stuff and all of the political protesting as the decade went on. Anyway, I'm watching tonight because there is nothing else on. I think it is very hard to capture those times in a film/ fictional story.

I'm recording it - I love David Duchovny, so hoping I like this. The whole series will be available tomorrow on NBC's site, just FYI.

We watched some it. It would have good if they didn't have that monster on there. And anything that portrays his followers as innocents should be boycotted.

Watched it and it didn't grab me. It didn't have the vintage feel that Mad Men did so well.

I started watching but fell asleep. The only thoughts I have so far is that it is as if they tried to stuff as much of the 'good' music in the first 10 minutes as they could. It was like a small part of song on top of a small part of a song on top of small part of a song. There wasn't even a scene change with the music change. That right there might make me skip the show.

I like the 60's theme and David D., but honestly? The plot is just STUPID!

Not sure if the show ties it in somehow, but there was a large cult in the late 60s/early 70s called The Source Family headed by Father Yod. They all changed their last name to Aquarian - ala the Age of Aquarius New Age movement (which is really an astrological period). It was very Manson like minus the crime, even down to the leader being a musician and living in the Hollywood Hills area. There's a very interesting documentary on it on Amazon Prime called The Source Family. Father Yod was actually sort of the father of the "health food" movement.
Many of its members still carry the last name of Aquarian.

Thanks to this thread, I have been wandering around my house this morning singing at the top of my lungs... "IT WAS THE DAWNING OF THE AGE OF AQUARIUS, AGE OF AQUARIUS..." Thanks a lot. (LOL)

I agree with your husband. I was a little kid when he did his murders and still remember it and my parents talking about it. I usually love this type of thing, but I just can't watch anything about Manson.

I can't bring myself to watch it. I was 10-11 when he was arrested. Lived through it all once, don't want to see it depicted on TV.
