Interesting new crime series from Netflix called Mindhunter.

It's got the cute Jonathan Groff in it.

Three episodes into Mindhunter, and I am loving it.

The synopsis for the show is kind of short and misleading:
Quote:An agent in the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit tracks down serial killers and rapists.

The setting is the late 1970's, and it's basically a show depicting how "interviewing" serial killers led to a better understanding of behavioral sciences.

The first episode is kind of slow, there's not any major "action" as one would find in a gun movie to captivate the viewer, but the characters and mental stimulation in reference to the birth of an area that benefits the FBI to this day is captivating.

Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams

I quite enjoyed the first episode.  I shall keep watching.

I'm sure you're aware... but he wrote the novel that Bladerunner is based on.

The best fiction novel I've ever read in fact (I haven't many but that's one of the few novels even I actually managed to enjoy, despite my strong preference for non-fiction). The original novel is called Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep?

I'm sure you already know all this but just in case.

I didn't know that, but thank you for the information.

Oh I misspelled that by the way. It's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" not "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep?"
