So a few days ago I finished watching season 1 of the new Netflix show Mindhunter. I have to say that this show is pretty freaking good.
The show takes place in the late 70's following two FBI agents that are trying to figure out the psychology of Serial Killers, by interviewing them.
The two main characters agent Holden Ford (Johnathan Groff) and agent Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) are very interesting characters and they work really well off of each other. Holden is the more optimistic character and Bill is a bit more pessimistic, but they play off of each well enough to compliment their work.
The camera work is really well done in this series. The color scheme is fitting for the overall tone of the show, and it is very effective. The music is on the weaker side a bit, and this is something they should work on going forward, however I'm not saying that it's bad, it just needs a little more work to be done on it.
Many of the secondary characters are very interesting, even when some of their screen time is limited, it still works well for the overall story arc. I wouldn't say that there are many static characters in this series. Nothing feels unnatural when they are interacting, the conversations that they have feel raw enough and are very eerie, and I applaud the actors for their good work.
I believe that there will be a season 2 for this show, I am not entirely sure if this has been conformed or not, but I hope that they do make a second season, because this show is worth having another one, if not many.
Overall this is a very good show to watch and I highly recommend seeing it. I should give a small warning that this show talks about (and somewhat shows) some mature things and is not really suitable for everyone, but basically if you can watch Silence of the Lambs you should be fine enough to watch this series.
final score: 4.5/5
