No doubt. It had its flaws and I felt people were overly harsh with it but I absolutely loved Every. Single. Second.

Mindhunter | Netflix | - No love for fincher?
- Thread starter Pacote
- Start date
Damn. That's a really unfortunate timing, as my girlfriend will be away for nine days starting from 16.8. It means I'll have to try to avoid spoilers from those who binge-watch it through immediately, and can't withhold from ruining it for others by posting details about it online. I wish it (and everything else) would be released at episode per week pace. I loved how it went like that with Game of Thrones, Star Trek: Discovery, and Big Little Lies.
FUCKING YES!
Perfect timing, I'll be starting my vacation the same day.
Damn, Dark Crystal Age of Resistance and Mindhunter in the same month? Netflix really wants me to feel bad for mooching off my parents' account don't they.
About time. Hope this means we get a trailer soon. Holt also recorded a podcast for NetWorkWise recently and made a comment that he was "looking forward to [Mindhunter] seasons 3, 4 & 5."
From what I have heard the Atlanta Child Murders will be in season two. I wonder if the show will glorify the FBI or show the racism that the FBI exhibited.
Exactly! I haven't watched Glow, though I plan to, but Mindhunter and DWP are my SHIIITTT
The show is fantastic, the ending of S1 is definitely one for the ages and something I didn't expect. Can't wait for S2!
Honestly you can't do a period piece nowadays without CGI.
They used it to great effect in Season 1 to replicate the 70s

I think you'd be genuinely surprised at how much CG these kinds of high-budget series use, especially period pieces with a lot of external shots.
Holy cow. Even the curbs were adjusted to be accurate to the times. Must be maddening to work on a series like this lol
It's unfortunate that more people don't care. I seem to notice a lot of studio movies and TV shows with blatantly modern city skylines and whatnot that are supposedly set decades in the past.
Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and Mindhunter in the same month babyyyy
(probably a small fan overlap heh)

I've always wondered how involved Fincher is in these shows compared to his movies. I know he directed 4 episodes last season and is Exec Producing, but I was under the impression that Exec Producing wasn't as involved in a production. The CGI video posted above is just like his movie ones, and it does seem like the whole thing feels like his baby, but who knows.
It depends on the individual executive producer, he is involved in the development and writing (Sorkin described him as a script editor on The Social Network).
I believe he formed the style guide for the other directors to use. Practical lighting, little to no handheld camera no steady cam etc.
Collider wrote an article about this : http://collider.com/mindhunter-david-fincher-showrunner/
In essence, he took over when the show moved from HBO to Netflix, and decided to run the Writer's room from that point on (as the original writer couldn't)
What the FUCK. I'm a real stickler for VFX and the way these scenes are lit is just out of this world. Holy shit.
With a director like Fincher he is often time infusing his people into the whole production. For eample:
Tyler Nelson edited 4 of the episodes that Fincher did not direct but was on the editorial crew for many of Fincher's previous films.
and Erik Messerschmidt who DPd a lot of season 1 was a Fincher veteran gaffer from previous films.
It looks like he uses TV series as a way to promote up people who have worked with him on previous films. So they are veterans of his workflow and style and even when he is not directing you are going to feel Fincher's hands on the work because of this.
I'd just like to echo some commendment and excitement for the show. I find S1 sort of terrific. I don't believe it's really underrated or overrated... but it may be a little underappreciated and misunderstood.
I hope it stays consistent / doesn't go the way of HoC.

Best series to come out of netflix brah
You will be sad to hear that it will likely be 3+ years until season 3 going by how insanely slow Fincher is at developing projects and hes now working on a film as well
Benefit is that we get such well directed episodes but i wish his process was a bit faster :(

This and Narcos are basically why I still give Netflix a chance.
S2 was more goodness.
show is great but so frustrating, how each season ended on such a huge cliffhanger.
Quality of the entire show is so hit and miss all the interviews in season 1 are amazing and the rest is bad. Season 2 is good except for Charlie Manson which just is so wrong
Overall wouldn't recommend the show. Isn't worth the investment unless you already know about the stories behind the crimes
