Mindhunter Season 3's Story Makes Netflix's Cancellation Even Worse: "The Season Everyone Was Really Waiting For"

Mindhunter was a very unusual crime drama, and season 3 was going to shake up the series. Based on the real-life memoirs of John Douglas and Mark Olshaker, who revolutionized criminal psychology, Mindhunteris unlike many police procedural shows, which tend to focus on one case each episode. Instead, Mindhunter played the long game, introducing real cases that were unsolved during its 1970s timeline, while the main characters worked on developing criminal profiling. Of all the great crime TV shows canceled too soon, Mindhunter is one of the best, and it has since become a cult hit.
