One of my favorite shows currently running is Netflix’sMindhunter. If you’re not familiar with the show, the series started in 1979 and revolves around the early days of the FBI’s serial killer profiling unit.Jonathan GroffandHolt McCallanyplay a pair of FBI agents who interview imprisoned serial killers in order to better understand how criminals like themselves think, which they then apply to solving ongoing crimes. The series also starsAnna Torv, Joe Tuttle,Albert Jones,Stacey Roca,Michael Cerveris,Lauren Glazier,Sierra McClainand is based on the 1996 bookMind Hunter: Inside FBI’s Elite Serial Crime UnitbyJohn DouglasandMarkOlshanker.
While many series have great acting, or fantastic production design, or amazing directors helming the episodes, what’s unique aboutMindhunteris everyone working on the series is at the top of their game. As I watch each episode I’m constantly amazed at the level of detail in every scene, or the way I feel transported to another time and place. I commend everyone makingMindhunterfor such amazing work. Trust me; you want to be watching this show.
With the second season now streaming on Netflix, I recently sat down with Jonathan Groff, Anna Torv, and Holt McCallany for an exclusive interview. In the second season, the group has seen their influence grow inside the FBI and they’re being treated with new respect and given more resources. As the season progresses, they’re brought in to consult on the Atlanta Child Murders, interact with Charles Manson, and a lot more.
During the wide-ranging interview they talked about why it took so long to make the second season, the three directors that helmed the nine-episodes (David Fincher,Andrew DominikandCarl Franklin) and how each of them likes to work on set, what it’s like filming the flying scenes, what were they nervous to film, and if the goal is to still do five seasons.
Check out what they had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.
