The true story of the "becoming" of forensic profiling as used today through the perspective of the two FBI detectives who developed the theory behind it through interviews with famous criminals.
Based on real historical events, with some poetic license embellishments (including changing the names of the main characters), this series is fascinating and extremely well done (David Fincher is involved in both production and direction), very credibly highlighting the obstacles encountered by such an ambitious project. The main characters (3 in number really, including the character of the wonderful Anna Torv - also known from Fringe) are interesting themselves and serve as an object of collateral study through their personal lives and their contrast with the careers in which they seem almost superheroes. With all the specific political and social problems of the time (70's).
Also fascinating will be all the portraits of real-life serial killers with their like to like faces, using impressive makeup techniques (Damon Herriman plays Charles Manson in Mindhunter and Once Upon A Time ... In Hollywood with Mindhunter being the visually superior one) and played perfectly by the actors involved (worth mentioning Cameron Britten who brings the Edmund Kemper to life wonderfully).
