If Netflix is known for one thing, it has to be its never-ending rolodex of serial killer docs. Nobody does it better than them. And when they finally decided to put two and two together, they hired their frequent go-to director David Fincher to pilot a TV series about the first-ever FBI serial killer profilers: Mindhunter.
The show was beloved and quickly grew into one of the streamer’s cult classics. But, as is often the case with Netflix, it got canceled as soon as they realized it wasn’t pulling impressive viewership numbers. Fincher ostensibly said the show was simply too expensive to keep making at a loss.
