The Netflix original seriesMindhunteris, by far, one of the best new shows currently running. The true story-based, 1977-set drama chronicles the early days of criminal psychology and criminal profiling primarily through the eyes of three people at the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit: eager newcomer Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff), somewhat jaded veteran Bill Tench (Holt McCallany), and brilliant psychology professor Wendy Carr (Anna Torv).

The dramedyFleabagis as joyful and poignant as ever in its second season (streaming at Amazon Prime Video), as the series’ namesake (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) finds herself in a battle with God. As she continues to deal with family and tragedy, which often seem to be one in the same, she meets The Priest (Andrew Scott), who teaches her that there is more than one way to see the world.

Geniuses were often home tinkerers, absent-minded, and not interested in matters of the world....
