The premise

An agent in the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit develops profiling techniques as he pursues notorious serial killers and rapists.

Horror Vault's take

Set in the late 1970s, Mindhunter follows an ambitious FBI agent who partners with a seasoned veteran to interview some of America's most dangerous convicted killers — not to rehash their crimes, but to understand what makes them tick. The series traces the birth of modern criminal profiling at Quantico, where cold methodology collides with deeply disturbing human darkness. Each conversation peels back another layer of how law enforcement came to understand the serial killer mind, at a cost that quietly accumulates across the season.

Content: Disturbing Descriptions Of Violent Crimes, Discussion Of Sexual Violence, Psychological Intensity
