One of my favorite new shows is Netflix’sMindhunter, which was executive produced and partly directed byDavid Fincher. The series takes place in 1979 and revolves around the early days of the FBI’s serial killer profiling unit.Jonathan GroffandHolt McCallanyplay a pair of FBI agents who interview imprisoned serial killers in order to better understand how criminals like themselves think, which they then apply to solving ongoing crimes. The series also starsAnna TorvandHannah Gross.Mindhunteris based on the 1996 bookMind Hunter: Inside FBI’s Elite Serial Crime UnitbyJohn DouglasandMarkOlshanker.
While I would love to single out one part of the show that stands above the rest, I can’t.Mindhunteris one of those rare shows where everything is aces and as I finished the season all I wanted was more episodes. If you’re a fan of David Fincher’s work, great writing and acting, and fantastic television, I strongly recommend streaming this brilliant show.
Shortly before the show premiered – and prior to me finishing the first season – I sat down withMindhunterstars Holt McCallany, Anna Torv and Jonathan Groff for an exclusive video interview. They talked about how much they know about the arc of the season and their characters prior to filming, how they read a five-season outline for the show, what was it like working with David Fincher, and how they each got involved in the project.
Check out what they had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.
