Mindunter is a perfect combination of true crime and fiction. What makes the series more fascinating are the characters that are playing real-life serial killers in the show. Even some of the dialogues are taken from the real-life interviews of real people. The casting of the series was so extraordinary that it helped the audience consider that they are actually seeing Edmund Kemper and Charles Manson on screen.

Mindhunter has managed to pull an IMDb rating of 8.6.
