Watching "Mindhunter" on Netflix. Excellent show!

I know I'm late to the party, but I finally got around to watching it. Wow! Not what I expected. I'm on E8 of the first season. How did I miss this when it first came out?

Not this late but well after it came out. I really enjoyed it as well.

There’s still hope for a third season.

I think it was originally planned, but COVID-19 threw a monkey wrench into the shooting schedule. Then Netflix decided that the ratings weren't good enough to warrant the expense of a third season. Everyone was released from their contracts and moved onto other projects.

Saw your post yesterday, looked for something to watch last night, thought what the hell so plugged this in and can't put it down. Three episodes last night and starting #6 now.

Gripping as hell, nice interplay between Ford and Tench and some clever, easy to miss humor too. The actor who played the creepy big guy, Ed Helman wins so far for me but Benji's sister in #5 does a great job too. I expect plenty more fine performances to come.

They've been setting up those serial murders in Kansas and am curious how that will play out.

Late to the party as well, but I will be seeing this series through. Thanks again!
