Catching a criminal often requires the authorities to get inside the villain's mind to figure out how he thinks. That's the job of FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench. They attempt to understand and catch serial killers by studying their damaged psyches. Along the way, the agents pioneer the development of modern serial-killer profiling. The crime drama has a strong pedigree behind the camera, with Oscar-nominated director David Fincher and Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron among the show's executive producers.

Sadie B @sadieb2006 Aug 27, 2026 Obsesseddddd. Wished they were making more seasons :( See more 2shot2kills T @Mohammed346 Aug 7, 2026 this is the best show I have seen since a long time ago it's almost like as good as True Detective season 1 and I can't believe Netflix cut this off and they keep other shows going other silly shows going other, insignificant shows they keep funding it, but this this Masterpiece they cut it off I don't know what's wrong with Netflix See more Multazim M @RT81634999 Jun 6, 2026 Mindhunter is the pinnacle of story writing. Its uncomfortably intimate without glorifying any of its characters to remind the audience that this is a real show about real people. See more Maverick C @MaverickCinema Feb 20, 2026 Holy moly we need a Season 3 or film sequel!!! So good See more Steven F. @SteveGotScored Feb 19, 2026 Just as good as the first season! See more Ron K @Ron_k Dec 13, 2025 Apart of the Netflix forced DEI scenes that have absolutly nothing to do with this great series, storyline are capturing and well written, style of the show is very good See more Read all reviews
