MINDHUNTER is currently streaming in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix, and its case-by-case structure never gets in the way of the bigger story. Every one of its 2 seasons holds up. 3,017 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Jonathan Groff's performance alone is worth the time investment. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, MINDHUNTER is worth clearing space for. The plotting in MINDHUNTER is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. An agent in the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit develops profiling techniques as he pursues notorious serial killers and rapists. Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany lead a cast that never lets the mystery feel thin. It ran for 2 seasons (2017–2019), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — MINDHUNTER passes that test consistently. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, MINDHUNTER delivers. If you have already watched Prodigal Son, MINDHUNTER is a natural next step. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Watch Jonathan Groff work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.

MINDHUNTER was cancelled in 2019, created by Joe Penhall — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
