Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Gordon Meadows I don't review much but this is worth the time.Much like HBO's 1st season of True Detective... Mindhunter has found a completely new way to get your attention when it comes to this genre. A refreshing and invigorating take on an old can't-get-enough genre for people like myself.This is completely unique. Why someone didn't think of doing a story around the formation of the Behavioral Science Division of the FBI is beyond me.The casting is on point. The dialogue is engaging. The story unfolds like a book. The pacing is just right. The production is well done. The camera work, direction, cinematography, lighting, music, props, costume, etc... are all as clearly well thought out as the crimes they investigate and discuss are.In the first season of particular note is the actor Cameron Britton. Not to spoil anything but his performance as Edmund Kemper is simply outstanding. You'll know who I'm talking about without knowing once he's introduced.If you enjoy detective novels, murder-mysteries, or serial-killer hunting stories... this is for you.I can't wait for the second season... but I was sold after the first episode.
aknnirala One of the best series I have watched. Too bad only 10 episodes.Almost when I was giving up on almost all the series, I found this, and it was amazing. Sometimes it's a bit dark, but still an amazing series.
Uatu the movie watcher I wasn't even planning on writing a review for this title, I just came to give it a score. But I was really puzzled by a string of very negative reviews. Considering their bundled nature, this might be a mob with an agenda. Perhaps they're alt-left feminists angry at the Freudian analysis going on in the series? Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but there's no way that the people who are giving this series a 2 or 3 or even a 5 are giving an objective review. For me this series is on par with true detective. My only criticism is that the acting is a mixed bag. In the first few episodes the detectives were a little stiff and unnatural but it got better over time. The serial killers however were amazing! Among the best acting performances I have ever seen in any film or TV show! In fact I wanted to see more famous serial killers make an appearance as interviewees, but I suppose this leaves some gems for next season. I really hope Charles Manson will make an appearance, but he's a character which will be VERY hard to pull off convincingly. I'd also love to see Son of Sam, Bundy, Gacy or James Earl Ray (al of whom John E. Douglas, whom Holden Ford is based on, did in fact interview) appear in the next season.
NikkoFranco This is the turning point for forensic science police investigation. With a lot of shows a dime a dozen which has turned many of the casual viewers into a bunch of wannabe smartalecks thinking they know whodunits , Mindhunter is the exception. As the setting is in the bygone era of landline phones, dark green suits, 12 cylinder cars, it is a captivating , retrospective storytelling. Detailed yes but not boring as it has successfully captured how it must have been done by a serial killer and the tedious task of the police to try and understand the motive while beginning from scratch.Highly recommendable.
