Mindhunter (TV Series) Episode #1.5 (2017) User Reviews

Cassandra Complex

[Hitchcoc · 9/10 · 21 October 2017]

The men return to Pennsylvania to help with the case of the girl found in the landfill. It involves three people. All three are nut cases but they are sure of their theory. The problem is that while they have valid research, conventional methods trump them. Their biggest obstacle is the fact that DA's and other law enforcement officials have been doing things the same way forever. There are some interesting things going on. One is Wendy getting more and more attracted to the cases. We also get a close look at the tension in Bill's family because of their non-verbal son (they don't know what happened to him before they adopted him). Tension is building. They have to muster strength to keep doing what they are doing. They are about to move on.

Killer?

[AvionPrince16 · 8/10 · 6 December 2021]

Still interesting to see what happened to the dead women. Until the end, we have some revelations, some secrets revealed. Very interesting. I like also the ambience, the atmosphere of this kind of this TV shows.

Murder investigation

[Leofwine_draca · 8/10 · 18 March 2022]

This episode focuses on a single murder case and is based around a series of interviews conducted with suspects. Nice to see the boys putting all their training into practice.

Good development

[Calicodreamin · 7/10 · 25 December 2020]

Good development on the Beverly Jean subplot, interesting interrogations and dialogue on how to detect a sociopath.

Episode 5

[bobcobb301 · 5/10 · 14 November 2017]

This one did go by quickly, but it was easily the most boring episode of the show yet. They gave us a different kind of study here, a case that was still open with a potentially unclear killer. I appreciate them breaking the mold a bit, but there was not much in the form of dialogue or drama given the situation. This was just an episode that you enjoyed if you love the concept of this show and if you don't then you didn't.
