MINDHUNTER Season 2: Trailer, Teaser, Poster & Stills


The thing about (most) David Fincher films, are that once the credits roll, it sticks with you. It sticks in your celluloid-loving minds for a real long time, it certainly has for me! Films like "SE7EN", "FIGHT CLUB", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" remain my favourites, along with "THE GAME" being my TOP FAV film of all time.

But to be sure, Fincher has directed 4 out of the 10 episodes in Season 1, but remained Executive Producer for all of Season 1. In Season 2, he is created with directing 2 episodes (as listed on IMDb).

Regardless, this stamp and mark is unmistakable.

Featured here today is the trailer for the second season of MINDHUNTER, with all 10-episodes scheduled to premiere August 16th on Netflix.


I had devoured the first season within a weekend, and til this day, memories of the viewing experience haunts me somewhat, with its muted colors, uniform palette and understated dread filling the void and silence in every corner of the television / computer screen as the story unfolded thru 10 x 1 hour each episodes of Season 1, and I loved it.

I had enjoyed the sheer amount of black+shadow in the visuals, caressed with exceedingly subtle light, ever providing a whisper of something jumping out of said shadow, like "we" have been "conditioned" through the myriad of shows in our lifetime to expect, but it does not happen here... you are forced to get used to the darkness, you are forced to live with the shadows that surround and embraces everyone and everything seen on screen, of most everything indoors being woefully and deliberately "underlit", and I had been uncomfortably delighting in it.

"Season one is set in 1977—in the early days of criminal psychology and criminal profiling at the Federal Bureau of Investigation[7]—Mindhunter revolves around FBI agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany), along with psychologist Wendy Carr (Anna Torv), who originate the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit within the Training Division at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. They interview imprisoned serial killers in order to understand how they think, with the hope of applying this knowledge to solve ongoing cases. Season two is set a few years later and covers the Atlanta murders of 1979–81." (Wiki)


Now Season 2 threatens to engulf us with the similar happenstance, and I cannot wait to sit in the darkened corner to find out what happens next...
