The first season of Mindhunter was easily one of Netflix's best shows; a compelling, and often brooding, adaptation of John Douglas' non-fiction work of the same name. Douglas created criminal profiling for the FBI by interviewing captured serial killers, and the opening season did a fine job of bringing that harsh, but fascinating, story to life. Season 2 continues to draw from the book, and focuses on the Atlanta Child Murders while continuing to follow the story that haunted Douglas' career - the BTK killer. Meanwhile, it expands on the characters' personal stories (which are largely fictionalized), all the while maintaining the mood and cool craftsmanship of the first season. A big part of Mindhunter's continued success is executive producer and director David Fincher. Fincher is so damn good at telling these kinds of stories! Mindhunter is less Se7en and more Zodiac, but it's pure Fincher. He is a master craftsman, and even when he isn't direct...

No one, but no one, handles the topic of serial killers quite like David Fincher. The man made his mark on the subject with 1995's Se7en, and then took it to new heights of cinematic greatness with Zodiac a decade ago. Now he's taken John Douglas's fantastic true-crime book, Mindhunter, and brought it to the small screen via Netflix, who Shawn and I have pimped so much lately we should be getting royalties.
