Storyline
Two FBI agents, fighting the departmental stigma of backroom boys - those who try to complicate the status quo of simple Means, Motive, Opportunity (MMO) of crime-solving with academics - work to develop an innovative investigative field incorporating psychology, anthropology and sociology as a method to reveal the motive. They acknowledge classic crime-solving - MMO - as no longer sufficient because criminality is becoming more complicated as Motive graduates from need and greed to inexplicable and irrational reasons. They theorize applying deeper psychological evaluation will posit new questions. Simply, asking Why will lead to the Who. This series focuses on the development by two men, two agents, of a new criminal field and does so through story lines of visiting the sociopathic mind.

The Boomtown Rats' song, "I Don't Like Mondays" which was written by
Bob Geldof after the 1979 mass shooting by 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer at Grover Cleveland Elementary in San Diego, CA. The song's title is attributed to Spencer's quoted reason for the shooting: "I don't like Mondays."

Goofs
In at least two episodes, there's a poster on Debbie's wall over the table advertising a concert by garage punk band The Cynics. This band was formed in 1983, so they couldn't be playing in the late 70's when season 1 is set. And it couldn't be another band with the same name, since the logo and locale (the advertised concert is in Pittsburgh, the aforementioned band's home town) fit.

I almost gave up on this around the 2 episode. Something told me to hang in there, and I'l glad I did. If you're fascinated by the psychology and methodology of a serial killer, you should watch the entire series. It does start off slow, but well worth the wait. When it comes to "Mind Hunter," patience is a virtue!
