Netflix viewers are still clamouring for more episodes of 'Mindhunter', the psychological crime drama that many consider the streaming service's finest offering. Across just two series and 19 episodes, the show has earned a devoted following.
The series follows FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench in the 1970s as they pioneer the profiling of serial killers, interviewing notorious figures such as Charles Manson and the BTK killer. Based on John Douglas's autobiography, it was executive produced by David Fincher and Charlize Theron.
Despite critical acclaim, Fincher has downplayed the likelihood of a third series. However, actor Holt McCallany, who plays Bill Tench, recently suggested the story could return as three two-hour films, pending Fincher's approval of scripts.
'Mindhunter' boasts near-perfect scores on Rotten Tomatoes—97% for the first series and 99% for the second. One Reddit user called it 'probably the best thing Netflix ever did', while another said it was 'the best Netflix series ever made'.
The Boston Globe praised its 'seductively paced' scenes and noir tone, while Vanity Fair called the second series a 'satisfying FBI mystery'. The show remains available to stream on Netflix.
