What a show. Binged it in two days on Netflix and loved it. It tells the story of how the FBI learned to study and “profile” serial killers in the 1970s, and features scenes based on actual interviews with various real-life killers of the era. David Fincher is a producer and directed four episodes in the first season. Very reminiscent of his movie Zodiac as well as films like se7en and Michael Mann’s Manhunter. Also, if you’re a Criminal Minds fan then you’ll be interested to see how the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit came to be.
The cinematography is dark and gorgeous. The acting is mostly top notch (especially the actors who play the various killers), the writing is compelling, and the soundtrack is killer. Besides telling a true story about the FBI, the show offers an interesting character study in the lead character Holden Ford played by Jonathan Groff. Without giving anything away, it’s squeamish to watch him form relationships with the various cases (and killers) that end up affecting his work, his love life, and his psyche. Highly recommended.
