Mindhunter looks like an amalgam of all of his best traits as a storyteller, so our hope remains high that it can capture that underlying, creepy atmosphere with his role as this show’s producer.
It’s not hard to understand why Netflix would put so much faith in Mindhunter to be a success.
Between his work on movies like Seven, Zodiac, and even (to a certain extent) Fight Club, he has become a master of delving into the dark and twisted mind of deranged individuals.
Aside from the fact that the show already looks amazing, the fact of the matter is that this is exactly the type of story that a filmmaker like David Fincher excels at.
