🚨 Netflix has finally delivered the perfect replacement for Mindhunter — a crime drama masterpiece that’s already blowing fans away 🔍🍷
Every episode is packed with chilling tension, razor-sharp writing, and performances so intense they’ll stay with you long after the credits roll. Viewers are calling it the kind of series that fills the void Mindhunter left behind, and some even believe it goes further, pushing the boundaries of psychological crime storytelling 👀
Mindhunter was canceled two years ago, and it’s still disappointing that such an intriguing series ended way too soon. Finding a crime drama that’s 10/10 is tough, but fortunately, Netflix’s Unbelievable shares several similarities with David Fincher’s hit psychological thriller, even though it’s not on quite the same level. This makes it a great replacement.
Unbelievable Sees Two Detectives Tracking Down A Serial Rapist
Unbelievable premiered the same year that Mindhunter season 2 was released. The series centers around Detective Grace Rasmussen and Detective Karen Duvall, two law enforcement officers searching for a serial rapist. The two detectives work in different police precincts, but when they realize that their cases intertwine, they join forces to bring the assailant to justice.
Like Mindhunter, Unbelievable heavily focuses on its characters, which makes it an intense series with high stakes. Kaitlyn Dever nails her portrayal of the troubled teenager Marie Adler by making her vulnerable, while Toni Collette and Merritt, who play Rasmussen and Duvall, respectively, are the perfect duo with an evenly matched resolve to track down the serial rapist.
Like Mindhunter, Unbelievable Is Inspired By A True Story
Unbelievable is a perfect example of how fact can sometimes be stranger and even more devastating than fiction, because, like Mindhunter, it’s based on a true story. The Netflix original crime drama was adapted from a 2015 Pulitzer Prize-winning ProPublica article by T. Christian Miller and Ken Armstrong, titled An Unbelievable Story of Rape (via The Guardian).
Unbelievable’s Detective Karen Duvall was inspired by Golden’s Stacy Galbraith, while Detective Grace Rasmussen was inspired by Edna Hendershot.
Why Mindhunter Is A Masterpiece
Mindhunter is, in so many ways, the best serial killer show on Netflix. The crime drama placed huge emphasis on showing a side to law enforcement that is usually ignored, that of understanding the psychology of serial killers and why they commit such heinous crimes. This resulted in an engrossing premise.
However, it’s not just that Mindhunter had an interesting plot that earned it its masterpiece status. The crime drama is a character-driven series that not only focuses on the psyche of the serial killers but also the personal struggles of detectives Ford and Tench. Mindhunter is a beautifully shot series that maintained its quality, so it’s no wonder viewers may look to fill that void with shows like Unbelievable.
