	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: A confident and tantalizing return (...) [The new season] is quick to make structural refinements to a show that detractors might have initially felt meandered"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"[2nd Season Review]: The long-awaited second season of David Fincher’s 'Mindhunter' affirms the program as Netflix’s strongest drama."	POS
United Kingdom	Jack Seale The Guardian	"[2nd Season Review]: Still TV's classiest guilty pleasure (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Chris Evangelista SlashFilm	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 2 Goes Further Into the Heart of Darkness (...) Fincher’s controlled camera movements – always precise, always constructed to draw our eye along with the action – yield breath-taking results"	POS
United States	Scott Tobias Vulture	"[2nd Season Review]: Fincher directs the first episode with his usual panache"	POS
Ireland	Brian Lloyd entertainment.ie	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] was worth the wait (...) [It] works on a bigger canvas, but doesn't lose any of its focus."	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Power Telegraph	"[2nd Season Review]: A fascinating, remarkable show you'll want to binge in one go"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[2nd Season Review]: On the whole, this season feels like a transitional one for the show (...) While it mostly hangs together for now, there are already more signs of strain than there were back in 2017"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Fascinating (...) This isn’t your typical good vs. evil, cops vs. robbers procedural. If anything, it’s trying to eliminate those conceptions. Sometimes it’s funny. Often it’s chilling (...) 'Mindhunter' is working a fresh angle."	POS
United States	Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"Groff is immediately persuasive (...) Fincher's proven time and again that he can make even the most mundane activities and actions riveting."	POS
United States	Kelly Lawler USA Today	"Although scenes are strung together a bit casually, they are lavishly filmed, meticulously directed and scored. Groff and McCallany are well-cast (...) But overall, the series lacks sharpness. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	James Poniewozik The New York Times	"'Mindhunter' (...) is more academic than sensationalistic (...) Still, the series’ linking of irrational times and unspeakable acts resonates with today’s stories of mass shootings."	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"While 'Mindhunter' is yet another serial killer drama, it's one with an intriguing angle. The emphasis isn't on finding a killer; it's on institutional reform."	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Time	"At its best, the genre tries to understand the roots of crime by investigating some of humanity’s most vexing paradoxes. 'Mindhunter', curious and thoughtful, is an example of the latter."	POS
United Kingdom	Christopher Hooton The Independent	"The first two episodes are immaculately shot (...) and the dialogue falls somewhere between Sorkin and Hemingway in that it's smart but terse."	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"Occasionally flat, sporadically gruesome, 'Mindhunter' is also potentially absorbing."	POS
United States	Oliver Lyttelton The Playlist	"The direction's probably a little more functional than his feature work, but David Fincher being functional is still anyone else at the top of their game."	POS
