WTF Happened to Mindhunter? - Explained - Why Netflix Stopped
443Premiering on Netflix in October 2017, Mindhunter was something that no one had seen before. It was a quiet, brooding, slow-burning crime series that showed us interviews in the cold FBI Offices instead of the high-intensity car chases and shootouts we are accustomed to. The show did not have a rushed storyline. It took its sweet time to lure us in. It did not care if we were actively paying attention to the show because it knew that even without all of those, we were already hooked, following the clues that were sprinkled everywhere. This show is more about the psychological horror of the crimes committed and less about the action. Think of it like the Zodiac without the journalistic sheen on it. And David Fincher's idea worked. We were hooked!
