True crime is one of those genres that has evolved significantly since it gained popularity in the 1990s. A superficial fascination with violent crime has morphed over time into a fascination with the person who did it. One of the problems that has always plagued the validity of giving serial killers detailed coverage in documentaries is that it often feels pointless, and we as viewers can’t help but feel icky by the time the credits roll. That is why âMindhunterâ offers fans of true crime a refreshing change of pace by presenting a nuanced perspective on the motives of a violent individual without forcing itâs viewers to empathize with deviancy.
