    Not good. Feels like they hired a sitcom writer or something to come in a homogenize the show and make it more progressive. They're pushing the classic netflix culling of the bad whites trope they've established in their previous originals. At least we're being more honest about what "progressive" actually means. Feels like they took something that was kinda interesting and weaponized itNot good. Feels like they hired a sitcom writer or something to come in a homogenize the show and make it more progressive.

Feels like they took something that was kinda interesting and weaponized it against the people who liked it. Overall, I'd recommend skipping this, and, if you consider yourself a good samaritan, cancelling your netflix subscription, they're only going to lean harder into the pseudo-progressive shtick.

    I don't typically do this sort of thing but i was so disappointed with this season I needed to vent. Season 1 was perfect in every way, the study, depiction of killers, the science behind everything and season 2 pretty much threw all of that away to focus on a more "woke" storyline. Berkowitz and Manson were shoehorned in, which was a letdown and then proceed to focus on a lame plotI don't typically do this sort of thing but i was so disappointed with this season I needed to vent.

Berkowitz and Manson were shoehorned in, which was a letdown and then proceed to focus on a lame plot revolving around the Atlanta child murders. I will still watch season 3 but my anticipation is way down especially of the writers are going to continue to pander to the Twitteratti Expand

    I'm Dutch. Love the season 1, have seen this 4 times. Wat mij raakt waren de interviews met de seriemoordenaars (serialkillers). En de perfecte rollen van al deze acteurs, die deze seriemoordenaars uitbeelden, stuk voor stuk.. Uiteraard Edmund Kemper, maar allen waren daarin voortreffelijk. De samenspel tussen Holden en Tench en Wendy Carr. Season 2, pakte mij iets minder. Waarom moetI'm Dutch. Love the season 1, have seen this 4 times.

We leven niet allemaal in Amerika. In Nederland is dit volledig geaccepteerd, dus ik hoef geen Hollywood achtige les te leren. Het irriteert mij alleen maar. Hoewel toentertijd een complete mannenwereld. Toch zie ik nu de meerwaarde er niet van in mbt serie Mindhunter. Waarom, leg dat dan uit in de serie. Daarnaast Anna Burgess is getrouwd en heeft kinderen. Eerste homohuwelijk vond sowieso plaats in Nederland. Is hier gewoon geaccepteerd.. Ga svp verder met de insteek van seizoen 1. Interviewing de serialkillers en het groeien van de FBI hierin. Anders kom je denk ik niet veel verder dan een seizoen 3. Snap zoon van Tench, van eventueel ontstaan van een seriemoordenaar: overreagerende, bijna verstikkende moeder en een afwezige vader en toch.. De jongen kan ook autistisch zijn. Is mij helemaal niet duidelijk. vond Holden in seizoen 2 weak. Do please better next season. Expand

    First season good, this season everything but the kitchen sink. Let's get in gay storyline; race storyline; mental illness storyline and kill the original emphasis on main character. Blah. Killing multiple women on tv not most interesting viewing.

    Dreadfully boring. Seems to follow a pattern of bad seasons for previously good Netflix shows this year. I have to blame writing. I hope this changes as season 1 was fantastic.

    The series fascinates rather than unsettles. Yet the picture it paints of Manson, Rader and the rest is never glib. It’s a remarkable achievement and one of those rare “binge-watch” shows that lives up to the billing. You really will want to snaffle it down in one sitting.

    Mindhunter gets out of sleuth-cliche jail through our fascination with the real cases it dramatises: those who have devoured the BTK and Atlanta cases via true-crime podcasts and Wikipedia binges ought to appreciate the lurid creepiness of the former and the elusive oddness of the latter. It’s all a quality guilty thrill.

    The show’s narrative is more cohesive this season, too. The team is driven to collect more data from the killers because the so-called Atlanta Child Murders are unfolding and they want to help out with their newfangled profiling. It’s all very, very dark, which for me is very, very intriguing.
