It is fair to say that David Fincher is a genius, and that he has a penchant for working with projects involving serial killers.
Se7en, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, Zodiac… even House Of Cards, to a certain extent.
Fincher is drawn to the darkest parts of humanity, and with his latest project, he is putting a large flashlight on the topic, and wants us all to try not to look away.
Mindhunter will be released in full on Netflix on 13 October, and will follow two FBI agents in 1979 America, who travel across the county to interview captured serial killers in order to use how they think to solve currently open cases.
Fincher is executive producing (along with Charlize Theron, but no sign of her in the cast-list of mostly unknowns), and Fincher will also be directing some of the episodes along side the very impressive likes of Asif Kapadia (Amy, Senna), Tobias Lindholm (A War, A Hijacking) and Andrew Douglas (The Amityville Horror, U Want Me 2 Kill Him?).
The show has already been picked up for a second season, so we imagine this will very much be THE must-watch when it was released later this year.
