Mindhunter (2017-2019)

It was a different time then. The FBI didn’t understand what they were dealing with in those days. In fact, using psychological profiling seemed a bit too much ‘mumbo-jumbo’. Notice that the image above is actually of a head of a killer formed from a Rorschach ink blot, with the actors of the show duplicated as the ink.

This is not an easy show to watch, but, like a train wreck about to happen, you cannot take your eyes away for a second, just in case you miss some little detail. And, admit it, we all are fascinated by the mental aberrations of people (read, men) who kill others for whatever reasons they think are justified.

The show, over two seasons on Netflix, tries to accurately represent some of the best known serial killers of that era. Take a look at them, here:

As historical fact, wrapped up in fiction, this show is very well presented. We’ve only watched two episodes. I don’t think we’ll bother with any more.
