New on Netflix
Fincher did the first two episodes, I believe.
It's look is very retro and colors are muted.
Have seen the first 3 so far. Has Finchers feel all over it IMO. Seems like a cross between the X-Files and the movie Zodiac. Not an action show but interesting so far, some may find it slow at times.

I've got to check it out, thanks Ron for the tip. David Fincher I like his flicks.

"The series is produced by David Fincher and Charlize Theron among others, and debuted on Netflix on October 13, 2017. Mindhunter was renewed for a second season in April 2017, six months before its series premiere."

I like it. More of an "examined life" history about the difficulties and barriers involved in establishing the study of psychopathology in the FBI for prediction and apprehension purposes. It has none of the "Criminal Minds" instant psychic divination/profiling baloney, at least not in the first several episodes.

The agents involved struggle to explore what is going on, at first with a lot of resistance from the macho traditions of law enforcement. The show gets excellent performances from all the actors, even the ones playing the various psychos. The dialog is crisp and dense. Good scriptwriting plus good acting.

Let's add to this a little more.

1. Not a Netflix family Series. Don't go there with your wife and children.
2. Particularly during this Holiday Season.

3. The dialog is incisive.
4. The atmosphere of the time period is palpable.
5. The locales and cinematography and decor sets impeccable.
6. The actors performance well rooted.
7. The music tunes, the music tunes and the music tunes.

I preferred it over Dark, also on Netflix.

I'd give it 81 overall...with the two very important reservations above.

I'm in Season 2 from just recently.

@ Ron; you started this thread almost two years ago, we don't hear from you anymore.
I asked here in the past if anyone have heard of your whereabouts...no reply unfortunately.
If you aren't alive anymore and passed away roughly couple years ago; I think often of you.

I've read this short review earlier...it's a good review.
