Neue Einsichten (S01E03)

So, if the creators are successful from the beginning to the full number of stars, it is definitely the amazing atmosphere of the seventies. Watching Bill light a cigarette on the plane was really an experience. With the pace at which the story unfolds in each episode, I would expect to even doze off, but it is exactly the opposite, I can't tear myself away from it at all. (07.09.2020)

Probably a dream come true for all die-hard fans of David Fincher. OK for the rest of us so far, but after the second episode I would expect the pacing and atmosphere to be put in second gear. In the third episode, however, we slow down a bit again and the protagonists kind of stagger in place, just like the viewer who is expecting a second Se7en, but Mindhunter probably has a slightly different target audience and ambition – it feels much more documentary-like than cinematic. At least for now, it’s a bit early for a more comprehensive assessment. Most interesting so far is the deepening of a strange buddy relationship between the two FBI agents. (05.02.2022)
