Occasionally we’re all on the hunt for a compelling series to immerse ourselves in, and Netflix currently boasts an impressive selection. However, if you’re after something genuinely gripping that’ll leave you craving the next episode, you might want to consider a television drama that’s been hailed as the “best ever” on Netflix.
The programme recently surfaced in discussions on Reddit, when a viewer was eager to gauge people’s opinions on the drama. It rapidly sparked considerable debate, with many unable to contain their enthusiasm for how exceptional they believe the show to be, whilst others confessed to binge-watching it multiple times.
It’s not the sole series to have captivated audiences on the streaming service lately either. Previously, subscribers also enthused about another programme that’s rooted in real events.
The Reddit user enquired: “Is Mindhunter worth a watch? I’m gearing up for the Fincher series and realised that I’ve completely overlooked this show.”
The query prompted substantial discussion, with respondents rushing to share their views. The consensus appears overwhelmingly positive.
One responded, stating: “Very good. Probably the best show Netflix ever produced.” Another contributed: “The most disturbing crime of the show is that it only got two seasons.”
A third commented: “It’s really good. I rewatched it recently and still think it was very well done.” In separate discussions, viewers also voiced their disappointment that only two seasons were produced.
One viewer expressed: “I’m still mad about this. On my third rewatch.” Another chimed in with: “This is the only show that’s been cancelled that makes me angry. I miss other shows, but this one burns me.”
One more fan noted: “I’m not a crime or true crime show fan at all. Mindhunter is amazing. Watch it for sure. Holt McCallany is so good in it.”
Many labelled it as “fantastic”, with several pleading for its return someday. It appears fans are holding onto the dream of their hope becoming reality at some point, but for now, they can only continue to rewatch previous episodes.
What’s it about?
For those unfamiliar, Mindhunter is an American psychological crime thriller television series created by Joe Penhall, inspired by the 1995 true-crime book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker. The series first graced screens back in 2017, and ran for just two seasons.
It boasts a cast including Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany and Anna Torv, and delves into the establishment of the Behavioural Science Unit in the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) during the late 1970s and early 1980s. This era also marked the advent of criminal profiling.
The series revolves around FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench, along with psychologist Wendy Carr. They operate the FBI’s Behavioural Science Unit within the Training Division at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia.
In addition to this, they collaborate to initiate a research initiative interviewing incarcerated serial killers. Their aim is to gain insight into the criminals’ psychological makeup.
Essentially, they hope the information they gather will assist in cracking active investigations. It’s regarded as essential viewing for crime drama enthusiasts, although reports suggest no additional episodes are planned.
