TV review - "Mindhunter - Season 1" (2017) ****

A surprise - I didn't know what to expect, just that involved serial killers and David Fincher. It's not so much a murder of the week story as a look at the mind of serial killers, being set in the 1970s when the FBI were applying more specific psychological measures of investigation.

I don't know how true it is but it feels true, helped by some great writing and acting. Holt McCallanty was a particular stand out from me - I don't know where he came from but he's great. Cameron Britton is very good too as Edmund Kemper. Everyone is good though.

It's creepy, unsettling and smart. I kept expecting the character of Debbie, the girlfriend, to do more than she did.
