Season 1
🎬 10 Episodes 📅 2017 ⏱ 74 min
Two federal agents venture into uncharted psychological territory, building an entirely new science of criminal profiling by sitting face-to-face with history's most terrifying killers. MINDHUNTER peels back the layers of murder itself, seeking patterns in chaos and motivation in madness that no one dared examine before. What emerges isn't just a procedural hunt for evidence, but an intimate exploration of the men who dare to enter the minds of monsters—and what that cost demands of them. The greatest danger they face may not be the criminals they study, but the darkness they absorb in the process.
