The 1st episode took time to get going. Later on, I realized it was setting that perfect platform for the proceedings to begin. By the 2nd episode, to be precise from the entry of Edmund Kemper, played brilliantly by Cameron Britton, this show really takes off. It's about the behaviourial science unit of the FBI, thier sessions with the Serial Killers, to find what were thier thoughts behind these deeds. It's a journey of Agent Holden too. We see him gradually become more and more involved with his work, to the point it starts consuming him. It's a brilliant show with a brilliant concept. No doubt David Fincher is associated with it, directing 4 episodes. A must watch.

Genuinely confused as to why this series has acquired good ratings? It is insufferably boring from the outset .The problem is there is no captivating plot . It does not develop any sense of urgency/ thrill/ dread etc,no qualities that would draw you in and sustain interest .
The characters simply drone on and on and on about banal psychological concepts in a multitude of obscure lecture halls.
Hey I wasnt looking for a psychology tutorial , cause this is what this feels like .
Fell asleep about 3 times while trying to plough through the first episode and vowed no more for me . If you're looking to be thrilled forget it !
This is akin to taking a sleeping pill , trust me !

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.

Couldn't even get through S1E1 . Bored to the core. Shocked about the high ratings. Definitely not worth watching.
