 Thank you for checking out this no spoilers show review. This is for the Television show that actually has two seasons at the moment on Netflix called Mindhunter. It's a David Fincher show and We're up front. I might not sound normal. I'm kind of battling something right now So if my energy levels a little bit lower, I apologize if my voice sounding kind of weird I apologize also if I need to like stop and Like just now like swallow some leakage that's coming out of my head. I know that's really nasty So I'm sorry, but let's talk about Mindhunter a little bit So I just finished the second season of Mindhunter. I watched the first season not long after it originally came out I think those last year 2018 maybe in 2017 technically, but I'm a person who's into true crime This is a show that I would definitely recommend for people who find true crime Stories and procedurals and stuff like that interesting So yeah So I'm gonna talk about this a little bit my feelings on it overall But I don't have my notes like I usually do for movies I don't I don't do that for shows because it's a long time like there are many many episodes It's much easier to just do like one movie. That's like an hour and a half two hours versus like Ten hours or something. So I'm just gonna go with what I got If you feel like I'm missing something that you want to hear about it or you want to say about it go ahead and put it down in the comments and Also, I'd just like to hear what you have to say about Mindhunter whether you've seen it or not your feelings So like I said, this is this is good for people who are into true crime. I am into true crime You know, I don't want to necessarily say into true true crime maybe kind of curious about true crime fascinated by true crime because I feel like it's important to kind of draw a distinction of like a fandom around terrible things like murders Versus having Like not understanding it and kind of wanting to understand more like where I come from with my interest in true crime has to do with I just can't wrap my head around What makes people this way and for that reason Mindhunter in particular is a great show for people like me who feel that way Because it's I mean everyone knows this if you've kind of seen the trailer for it It's basically about in the 70s. I believe this yeah in the 70s when the FBI Started to kind of look at profiling killers. It's I think it kind of started is just Particularly violent killers and then they kind of started specifically focusing on serial killers and they actually coined the term serial killer And that's kind of where this came from so it's It's going back and following that so it's based in reality, but the problem with these types of Films and shows is you don't really know how much is real and how much is fictionalized just for story So it's kind of hard Watching this to know what's real and what's not so when I watch it I watch it more is just like an entertainment nonfiction thing knowing that they're just elements of fiction or of nonfiction to it So yeah, that's just kind of how I watch it now. It looks really good It's it's shot extremely well. It's directed extremely extremely well David Fincher is really great at what he does people know him from like, you know I believe he did fight club and seven, you know He has a particular look and that look is in Mindhunter as well like it's it's Muted colors. It's very dark. It's very kind of grim and it makes sense for the material That's a play here. The actors do a really good job I think everyone I don't think there's like anyone involved in either of the seasons who I was just like Ooh, that acting's kind of rough. They did a great job. The other thing is when they are doing interviews with Serial killers in this in in jail They did a really good job of getting people who could act like them but also getting the the special effects To man costuming to really make them look like them It's actually very crazy and kind of jarring to see that So the writing is really good the It's kind of hard because a lot of people who aren't already into true crime might not like this because it's just it's a lot of dialogue It's a lot of talking. There's not a whole lot of action. Although there are some like crime scene Investigations that go on. It's not a ton. It's mainly about, you know Them talking to these killers and trying to create profiles for what makes up to serial killer Why do people kill? Like how can we take this information and then apply it to solving open cases and Identifying when it's not just, you know, one person murdered here one person murdered here But it's actually a serial situation where they're all related and I think That's like them putting the information together really starts in season one season two You see a lot more of them really putting it into practice and there's a really It's been kind of Covered in the media more lately a case in particular. I'm not gonna, you know, spill the beans on it That's heavily heavily done in season two. They actually have entire episodes multiple entire episodes just geared towards that one case and it has these characters kind of getting involved in that now That's one of those things where I was talking about like I don't know if in real life these people were involved in that I don't even know if in real life these characters are even real to who was there. Was it more than that? I know a lot of the times For movie sake, they'll take situations where it's a lot more people involved And then they just kind of pare it down into like one or two characters So like those two characters one or two characters are actually representing a myriad people Kind of like in Chernobyl that was the case if anyone saw the HBO show Chernobyl. Sorry. I just but Yeah, I mean I think it's it plays as realistic There's nothing that goes on that you're just like oh that took me out of it That doesn't seem you know doable or accurate But the story stays engaging in my opinion if you're okay with mainly just dialogue like I was saying Each individual person has their own kind of stuff going on too So it's kind of like side stories, which is good for actual character development makes you care more about these people who are involved Although I will say there's one character. That's that's more involved in season one than two and Their involvement in season two. I was just kind of like it kind of feels like they shouldn't even be there And it's and it kind of feels like they should have tried a little bit harder To tie that person into the season a lot more because it it just makes you feel like they're just gonna get rid of them at some point Not like, you know, they're gonna die or anything like that, but just like they're just like They feel like this character is not interesting anymore to them At least the writers and they're just kind of like yeah, let's just you know We'll bring them in a little bit here there and you know Maybe we'll just phase this person out at some point which sucks because it's a good character and the characters Pretty important in season one. I think and I kind of just want to see more involvement in season two. So I don't know It's disturbing For some people for some people not especially if you're used to true crime stuff It can get very very disturbing they do a really good job of keeping tension in the show and Part of that comes from the soundtrack the score to it is really good a lot in the music at key times is extremely creepy and I find that a lot with Fincher stuff He does a really really good job with that and it's extremely effective in the show extremely effective Like honestly with some of this music if I wasn't even watching anything and I was just listening to it I would still feel like this is creepy like it's it's very well done very very well done. So Yeah, I mean I feel like that's kind of all I have to say about this show because I don't want to get too much into things because like I said, you know no spoilers. I would encourage people who are Interested in true crime or are just a little bit curious to go ahead and just check out the show Don't just do like one or two Episodes or anything and the other thing is maybe just give it the whole first season and start the second season Because with a lot of shows it's much slower in the beginning. They have to establish kind of the world It's it's set in the storyline that they're trying to go for and the characters themselves. So it's slower That said I do think the second season picks up more It is more engaging than the first season and it just kind of holds to what I was just saying It's you know, they just had to set a bunch of stuff up in the first season The other thing I want to say real quick is I read an article that was saying that David Fincher has stated that there are supposed to be five total seasons. I believe of This show so hopefully that's accurate Hopefully it doesn't it doesn't hit the Netflix chopping block because I know there are a lot of people who are into the show But for some reason they've just kind of been chopping a lot of their shows. I don't know I don't get it But anyway, um really interesting. So like I said, let's put some comments down down there If you have seen this I really want to hear from you what your thoughts on the show are I haven't really heard any negative opinions on the show from well, okay Maybe just a few people who are just like, oh, I feel like I couldn't get into it I stopped after the first episode or the second episode and it was just because of you know Like I was saying the slowness they have to establish things and it's like stick with it Good things come to those who wait. It's that type of thing, but um Yeah, let's talk about that your feelings. Do you like it? Do you not like it? Are you interested to see more seasons? Where do you hope it goes? What's your interest level for more seasons? When you say when you give like an actual number of seasons It's kind of great because it gives people this hope of like, oh man, there's more to come That's awesome. Like I know I can rely on you know seeing more of this show and I'm excited But then at the same time it gives you a finite end so that you know Maybe when you hit like season four, you're like, oh, no There's only one more season or when you're on season five. You're like, I know this is gonna be it and that just sucks so You know sometimes it's better to just Go sometimes it's better to just let people know ahead of time I don't know your opinions on that too if you want do me a quick favor hit that subscribe for me can help me out a Lot really encourages me to keep these videos going to you can do the thumbs up But the important thing is to subscribe so thank you very much for just checking this out And until next time keep it brew
