Note: this is a spoiler-free review of all nine episodes of Mindhunter: Season 2, which premiered on Netflix on Friday, August 16.
It's been a little under two years since the first season of Mindhunter landed on Netflix and gave viewers a deep dive into the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit. It's not hard to understand why the first season struck such a chord. The series has the benefit of being a prestige crime thriller where no less an authority than David Fincher is behind the camera on several episodes. At the same time, it also taps into the current fascination with true crime stories and the desire to understand what goes on in the mind of a cold, calculating killer. The protagonists may be fictionalized versions of real FBI agents, but the situations and the criminals are all too real. Despite some early momentum problems, Season 2 channels that same effective balance between Hollywood style and real-world stakes.Where Season 1 took place in 1977, Season 2 largely takes place several years later, during the height of the 1979-81 Atlanta child murders. Not only are Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff), Bill Tench (Holt McCallany), and Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) continuing their work in interviewing and profiling imprisoned serial killers (including the returning Cameron Britton as Ed Kemper, Oliver Cooper as David Berkowitz, and Damon Herriman essentially reprising his role as Charles Manson from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), they also find themselves putting their work to the test as they aid local authorities in tracking down a mysterious killer responsible for kidnapping and murdering more than two dozen black children in the greater Atlanta area.Other significant new additions in Season 2 include Michael Cerveris as the unit's new boss Ted Gunn, Lauren Glazier as Carr's new love interest Kay Mason, and Albert Jones as Atlanta field agent Jim Barney. In addition, many episodes feature a cold-opening focused on a mysterious security technician played by Sonny Valicenti. These scenes wind up forming a compelling and disturbing mini-movie of their own by the end.
Given how Season 1 effectively ended on a cliffhanger, with Ford having a physical and emotional meltdown after becoming too consumed by his work, it's a bit disappointing that the Season 2 premiere goes out of its way to sweep that drama under the rug and re-establish a status quo for the BSU. The introduction of S.A. Gunn serves mainly to defuse that tension and draw attention away from Ford's pressing psychological issues. Season 1 drew some interesting parallels between medical science's understanding of panic disorder and the field of criminal profiling, as both were very much in their infancy in the late '70s. But Season 2 downplays Holden's personal problems, instead relying on Tench and Carr for much of the character drama.
With equilibrium returning in the premiere, Season 2 falls into an early routine where the BSU divide their time between profiling killers and playing office politics, all while trying to maintain some semblance of a personal life. Not that that formula doesn't play, but it does serve to remove any early momentum Season 2 might have had, building on the Season 1 finale. The first few episodes are definitely a slow burn. Like most Netflix series, Mindhunter could probably stand to trim an episode or two from each season.

However, fans always have those engrossing interview scenes to look forward to. Mindhunter is a very dialogue-driven show, and it often shines best during these moments where the BSU agents play mental chess with their interviewees and try to manipulate them into opening up about their 'work.' It helps that these real-life killers are always so impeccably cast. Britton's Ed Kemper may not appear nearly as much as he did in Season 1, but he steals the show whenever he does. Herriman also makes for a truly mesmerizing Charles Manson. The series really plays upon the cultural fascination that's built up around Manson over the decades, exploring the gulf between the myth and the actual man in a fascinating way. Herriman's performance is easily one of the standouts of the season.
Fortunately, the slow shift in focus to the Atlanta case (which eventually comes to dominate the latter half of the season) gives Mindhunter a clearer impetus and a more directed narrative. The case is fascinating in its own right (I'd recommend the podcast Atlanta Monster if you want to learn more about the investigation), but it's also one that perfectly compliments the struggles Ford and Holden are going through.
Ford sees the case as a perfect opportunity to prove the validity of his work, yet is constantly confounded when his profile fails to turn up new leads or when local authorities meet his suggestions with polite indifference. Tench, meanwhile, endures the most difficult and personal struggle of the season, and his own woes neatly mirror the frustrating hunt for the Atlanta killer. McCallany is another standout among an all-around strong cast, and neither he nor Stacey Roca (who plays his beleaguered wife, Nancy) have any shortage of compelling material over the course of these nine episodes.Torv's Wendy Carr is a slightly more peculiar case. It's not that she isn't given some memorable material of her own in Season 2, but she increasingly feels isolated from the rest of the cast. Part of that is simple geography. Carr is left behind in DC while Ford and Tench spend most of their time in Atlanta, making it increasingly difficult to tie her story in with the rest of the show's main threads. Carr's struggles as a closeted lesbian in an extremely conservative, male-dominated organization are compelling, but at some points it's as if the character is off in her own, separate series.
The music and cinematography remain huge selling points for the series. While Fincher only directs the first three installments, he establishes a clear tone and style that carry through in those directed by Andrew Dominik and Carl Franklin. Mindhunter isn't as stylized as something like Seven, but it does make use of heavy shadows and washed-out colors to create a bleak sense of unease. The inhospitable, decaying environments reflect a US gripped by malaise, as if the growing serial killer phenomenon is a symptom of a larger evil in American society. It's surely no coincidence that much of the Atlanta investigation takes place inside a shuttered Chrysler factory, or that the season is set early into the Reagan administration and the dawn of '80s consumerism.
Like Fincher's 2007 film Zodiac, Mindhunter succeeds in dramatizing real-life events while reminding us that, more often than not, there's not much in the way of true closure to be found. The series is about the struggle to understand what motivates others in their darkest moments, as well as the truth that sometimes such an understanding is impossible. It weaves a compelling murder mystery, yet provides no easy answers for the main characters. That ambiguity permeates Season 2 and helps tie the various story threads together, even in those slower-paced earlier episodes.

Verdict

While Mindhunter: Season 2 doesn't exactly race out of the gate as it builds on the foundation of Season 1, it remains a compelling and impeccably shot crime thriller. And despite that slow start, the shift in focus to the Atlanta child murders case helps the series rediscover its focus and purpose. This new season effectively dramatizes an infamous series of killings, even as it lends fascinating insight into the minds of infamous serial killers and the men and woman who hunt them for a living.

If what people do is any reflection of who they are, then Devin P. Kelley, who slaughtered 26 churchgoers on Sunday in Texas, surely was a madman.

Before the atrocity, he had attempted to sneak weapons onto an Air Force base after making death threats to his superiors, according to a local police report. In 2012, he had escaped from a mental hospital in New Mexico to which he had been sent after assaulting his wife and fracturing his stepson’s skull.

A video of the church killing reportedly shows Mr. Kelley working his way methodically through the aisles, shooting some parishioners, even children, at point-blank range.

“I think that mental health is your problem here,” President Trump told reporters on Monday.

It is true that severe mental illnesses are found more often among mass murderers. About one in five are likely psychotic or delusional, according to Dr. Michael Stone, a forensic psychiatrist at Columbia University who maintains a database of 350 mass killers going back more than a century. The figure for the general public is closer to 1 percent.

But the rest of these murderers do not have any severe, diagnosable disorder. Though he was abusive to his wife, Omar Mateen, who killed 49 people in an Orlando nightclub, had no apparent serious mental illness. Neither did Stephen Paddock, who mowed down 58 concertgoers from a hotel window in Las Vegas.

Ditto for Dylann Roof, the racist who murdered nine African-American churchgoers in South Carolina in 2015, and Christopher Harper-Mercer, the angry young man who killed nine people at a community college in Oregon the same year.

Nor does anything in these criminals’ history — including domestic violence, like Mr. Kelley’s — serve to reliably predict their spectacularly cruel acts. Even if spree killers have committed domestic violence disproportionately more often — and this assertion is in dispute — the vast majority of men who are guilty of that crime never proceed to mass murder.

Most mass murderers instead belong to a rogue’s gallery of the disgruntled and aggrieved, whose anger and intentions wax and wane over time, eventually curdling into violence in the wake of some perceived humiliation.

“In almost all high-end mass killings, the perpetrator’s thinking evolves,” said Kevin Cameron, executive director of the Canadian Center for Threat Assessment and Trauma Response.

“They have a passing thought. They think about it more, they fantasize, they slowly build a justification. They prepare, and then when the right set of circumstances comes along, it unleashes the rage.”

This evolution proceeds rationally and logically, at least in the murderer’s mind. The unthinkable becomes thinkable, then inevitable.

Researchers define mass killings as an event leaving four or more dead at the same place and time. These incidents occur at an average of about one a day across the United States; few make national headlines.

At least half of the perpetrators die in the act, either by committing suicide (Mr. Kelley is said to have shot himself in the head) or being felled by police.

Analyzing his database, Dr. Stone has concluded that about 65 percent of mass killers exhibited no evidence of a severe mental disorder; 22 percent likely had psychosis, the delusional thinking and hallucinations that characterize schizophrenia, or sometimes accompany mania and severe depression. (The remainder likely had depressive or antisocial traits.)

Among the psychotic, he counts Jared Loughner, the Arizona man who shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Democrat of Arizona, and 18 others in 2011. By most accounts, including his own, Mr. Loughner was becoming increasingly delusional.

Adam Lanza, who in 2012 killed 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., exhibited extreme paranoia in the months leading up to his crime, isolating himself in his room.

But what to make of John Robert Neumann Jr., who in June shot and killed five former co-workers at a warehouse in Orlando before turning the gun on himself? Mr. Neumann was not overtly psychotic, as far as anyone knows, and this is far more typical of the men who commit mass killings generally.

“The majority of the killers were disgruntled workers or jilted lovers who were acting on a deep sense of injustice,” and not mentally ill, Dr. Stone said of his research.

In a 2016 analysis of 71 lone-actor terrorists and 115 mass killers, researchers convened by the Department of Justice found the rate of psychotic disorders to be about what Dr. Stone had discovered: roughly 20 percent.

The overall rate of any psychiatric history among mass killers — including such probable diagnoses as depression, learning disabilities or A.D.H.D. — was 48 percent.

About two-thirds of this group had faced “long-term stress,” like trouble at school or keeping a job, failure in business, or disabling physical injuries from, say, a car accident.

Substance abuse was also common: More than 40 percent had problems with alcohol, marijuana or other drugs.

Looking at both studies, and using data from his own work, J. Reid Meloy, a forensic psychologist who consults with the F.B.I., has identified what he believes is a common thread: a “paranoid spectrum,” he calls it.

At the extreme end is full-on psychosis of the Loughner variety. But the majority of people on this spectrum are not deeply ill; rather, they are injustice collectors. They are prone to perceive insults and failures as cumulative, and often to blame them on one person or one group.

“If you have this paranoid streak, this vigilance, this sense that others have been persecuting you for years, there’s an accumulation of maltreatment and an intense urge to stop that persecution,” Dr. Meloy said.

“That may never happen. The person may never act on the urge. But when they do, typically there’s a triggering event. It’s a loss in love or work — something that starts a clock ticking, that starts the planning.”

Mental health treatment might make a difference for the one in five murderers who have severe mental disorders, experts say. Prevention is also possible in a few other cases — for instance, if the perpetrators make overt threats and those threats are reported.

But other factors must be weighed.

“In my large file of mass murders, if you look decade by decade, the numbers of victims are fairly small up until the 1960s,” said Dr. Stone. “That’s when the deaths start going way up. When the AK-47s and the Kalashnikovs and the Uzis — all these semiautomatic weapons, when they became so easily accessible.”
