### **Review: *MINDHUNTER (2017)*** **Score: 8/10** *Mindhunter* is a masterfully crafted, intellectually riveting series that, for its brief but impactful run, redefined the psychological crime drama. It is indeed a **mixed bag**, but one where the quality of its best elements is so exceptional that the whole remains essential viewing. The series plunges us into the late 1970s birth of the FBI's Behavioural Science Unit, where agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) pioneer the art of criminal profiling by interviewing imprisoned serial killers to understand the "why" behind the violence. **What Soars (and Anchors the Score):** * **The Pinnacle of Process Drama:** The show's greatest strength is its methodical, almost clinical fascination with procedure. The interviews with real-life killers like Ed Kemper (a chillingly charismatic Cameron Britton) are some of the most tense, compelling scenes ever put to television. It's a show about the psychology of evil, dissected through conversation. * **A Stellar Cast:** **The acting from all three of the main cast is brilliant.** Jonathan Groff perfectly captures Holden's obsessive, boundary-pushing ambition, wh
Read the whole review on TMDBThere's little that's conceptually different in crime drama Mindhunter. It takes its cue from films like Silence of the Lambs and tries to craft a series with a 70's vibe. Regrettably, on its own this is not enough to carry this series. It needed more but fails to deliver. Its not helped by a rather pretentious and at times silly take on criminal profiling. It wants to be taken seriously but really it has more in common with corny series like Criminal Minds, than it might care to admit. On the upside its watchable, as its topic is inherently interesting in a morbidly depressing way and the acting is fair. By all means take a look but don't expect anything special. 5/10 from me.
Read the whole review on TMDBFirst season great, the psychology is very interesting, the plot is good, at the beginning it's a little slow but then it kicks in and you can't stop. Second season... not so great, the plot is sloppy, part of the story has no ending, they completely deviate from their goal... The second season is pretty bad.
