Mindhunter is not like other crime shows. In this video essay, Thomas Flight explores some of the inventive techniques creators Joe Penhall and David Fincher employ to inject drama and conflict into the show.
This is a detailed analysis of the ways in which Mindhunter pulls the audience into the lives of its characters as they explore the minds of some of the worst criminals on earth.

This is such a good show and I want to congratulate you Netflix for using your channel not just for trailers and info but to spotlight creators. Well done!

I only discovered this show a few weeks ago and binge-watched both seasons. An exceptional tour de force. Of course, “Still Watching Netflix” is bitterly ironic as this show was cancelled after only two seasons.

Honestly, anything Fincher touches, with his dark hands, is good. I was so bummed when I heard they were not going to do a season 3. Such a masterpiece. I so wanted to find out what happened after the "disruptive" ending to season 2. I have literally binged it twice now. Damn you Fincher for giving us GOLD and then ripping the rug out from under our feet, wanting more. :P Bastard.

Watching Mindhunter, I was positive that Joe Penhall must have a background in the theater. The show's conception of "action" is less physical car chases and more interpersonal actions among characters: attacking, testing, seducing, warning, asserting status . . . . As in theater, those actions are accomplished mostly through language and physical relationship. I loved your video about editing -- seeing how edits can support and reveal those dramatic actions/relationships (something that isn't available on the stage).

When they turned the Ann Burgess character into a lesbian -- which she was not -- they lost me. She was a plain old housewife with kids and a psychiatric nurse with oodles of data, massive understanding and a scientifically-based compassionate nature. Had they left the character as she really was, it would have been a much better series.

Its a great show but i wish theyd cut out the personal lives bullshit and why does every single show have to have a gay character in it? I dont have anything against peoples lives but for hells sake it ads nothing to the show and is a waste of tome in the story. The audience wants to see how the fbi was able to find serial killers not lesbians.

It is a very good show. However, I don't like the girlfriend being vulgar because women like her are not vulgar in real life, so it is not true to life. Did the actress feel comfortable saying her lines? Because, I did not feel comfortable listening to them, as an audience member. She comes across as an intelligent sex bot but it is supposed to be the seventies.

@the1dbumblebee317 3 жыл бұрын

The level of internalised misognyny on this comment. Just because you are modest and prudish, doesnt mean all, or even most women are. I can attest to this, as a woman myself. This show is literally about mass murder and gruesome crime, but a bit of fucking got your knickers in a bunch?? 🙄 Plus, a woman talking about sex does not make her a 'sex bot'.
