The Big Picture The attempt to gain insight into captured serial killers in Mindhunter made for unsettling, thought-provoking, deliciously acted two seasons of TV. Created by Joe Penhall, the series was another Netflix project in which David Fincher put his directing style on as the recurring director, executive producer, and showrunner, with a tone that was close to Zodiac.
Release Date July 11, 2024 Main Genre Documentary Seasons 1 What Is ‘Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer’ About? Across three episodes, Mastermind looks at Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess, a pioneer of criminal profiling during her time with the Behavioral Science Unit. As a professor of nursing at Boston College, Burgess’ work in getting rid of the stigma of discussing and investigating rape cases brings her to the attention of the FBI.
Anna Torv’s performance is absorbing as the steely psychology professor who leaves behind her prospects of tenure in Boston to join the BSU full-time. But along with Ford and Tench, Carr struggles with being submerged in the violent crimes she needs to analyze, and this causes problems in her personal life. Torv said in an interview with The New York Times she read Douglas and Olshaker’s book to prepare for Season 1.
Unlike Dr. Burgess, a straight woman with a family, the queerness of Dr. Carr inserted another layer of separation between her work and personal life as she remained in the closet due to the time period. Viewers realize Anna Torv's ex-professor may have a high intellect, but it mattered little when it came to how she struggled with her romance with bartender Kay , where they were opposites who were attracted to each other — until they weren’t.
