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.

Wendy and Kay's storyline on Mindhunter is a diamond in a coal mine. Go to Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast 12/02/2019
The soul-crushing dread that comes from looking into an abyss and realizing that you may never comprehend its nature is vividly felt in the performances of [Jonathan] Groff, [Anna] Torv and especially [Holt] McCallany. Go to Full Review Victoria Segal The Times (UK) 12/02/2019
Mindhunter is compelling, but after watching, you might feel you need a shower. Go to Full Review Nicolás Delgadillo Discussing Film 06/25/2021
With the legwork of the first season out of the way, the show feels like it's really gotten into a fantastic groove. Go to Full Review Michael Guarnieri The Spool 12/31/2020
What Mindhunter does with the story is notable-for a series inspired by the memoirs of a profiler, it nevertheless makes the surprising choice to challenge the very foundations of psychological profiling. Go to Full Review Erin Maxwell L.A. Weekly 07/31/2020

Ron K @Ron_k Dec 13 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 Bill K @BDKowalski Dec 9 They would have had me at "starring Holt McCallany and Jonathan Groff", but when this series came out I had never heard of either of them. This show is based on a true story far more interesting than fiction. I can’t do justice to it. Now, granted, I loved seeing "Beyond the Sea" and even enjoyed "Merrily We Roll Along" (except for the writing and the songs, which I loathed). Both feature the extremely watchable Mr. Groff. Maybe I’m biased. But this show should have won some Emmys. It’s that good. See more Tiffany S @TiSheldon Dec 8 This is undoubtedly one one the best crime series ever made. I jost can't believe shows like this get cancelled and the "Kardashitting" still goes on. This world is messed up. See more Takeachance H Nov 14 Absolutely fascinating series. Stinks that it didn't get renewed. It was obvious they were leading up to a confrontation with the BTK killer that we won't get to see. Very interesting take on the Atlanta murders. See more Michael F Nov 3 Show is incredible. Netflix is brain dead for canceling this. See more V C Oct 23 Now this is a great show, Netflix definitely dropped the ball on this one. I may have been late to watching the series but really invested on the plot, I would highly recommend to watch it. See more Read all reviews
