MindHunter Season 2 Review
Hot Damn That Was A Good Season!
If you have Netflix, you need to be watching MindHunter. This show is fantastic, and it's quickly rising to become one of my favorites. If you haven't checked out my review for Season 1 yet all the way back from 2017, go and do so.
Season 2 of MindHunter continues the story of two FBI agents, Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany) along with physiologist, Dr. Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) in the late 1970s as they build upon the new behavioral science unit at the FBI. This season, their unit begins to expand, and they begin to apply their finding in the field.
I purposely left the show description a little sparse this time, because if I gave more, I fear I'd enter spoiler territory.
The acting was topnotch! The camera work was beautifully crafted and the overall aesthetic of the show is incredible.
Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany, and Anna Torv are fantastic actors. They play their parts so naturally, they have truly embraced their characters. I really like the chemistry between the actors, they play to each others strengths. I don't see much weaknesses in the characters, but I would like to see more of the character, Holden Ford's personal life as the show doesn't explore it much.
The camera work is very engaging and I found myself to be almost entranced by the well composed shots. The coloring for the series has some grey tones to it, but it fits given the content. The sound is crisp and clear.
I think it would be fun to direct one of the episodes for the show, but creepy at the same time. Knowing that the show is based on real events, it's very eerie, and at times, downright disturbing. Yet it's fascinating figuring out the minds of their subjects. In a way, I think it's important what the show is doing.
If you're a fan of crime dramas, David Fincher, or just good television, give MindHunter a shot. I think it's a fantastic show and it won't let you down.
final score: 4.7/5
