The premise
Follow South Africa’s first forensic and investigative psychologist, Micki Pistorius (played by Charlotte Hope), as she studies the minds of South Africa's serial killers. Catch Me A Killer is an adaptation of Micki's autobiography that details her work as the first female criminal profiler in the country, which is brought to life as the events are depicted in the series.
Horror Vault's take
Based on the real memoirs of Micki Pistorius, this South African crime drama charts her groundbreaking work as the country's first forensic and investigative psychologist tasked with getting inside the minds of serial killers. Charlotte Hope brings to life a woman navigating a world that had no blueprint for what she was attempting — building criminal profiles from scratch in a landscape defined by danger and institutional doubt. Each case pulls Micki deeper into the darkness she studies, raising the question of what that kind of proximity to evil costs a person. It's a procedural with genuine psychological weight behind every scene.
