David Fincher’s Mindhunter is three (hopefully four, the show is on hiatus) seasons of cutthroat criminal investigation with Fincher’s trademark muted tones and gritty atmosphere

 One of the more popular series on this list (second to a certain money laundering operation appearing later in the list), David Fincher’s Mindhunter  is three (hopefully four, the show is on hiatus) seasons of cutthroat criminal investigation with Fincher’s trademark muted tones and gritty atmosphere. FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench are at the head of the Behavioral Science Unit in Quantico, VA. They are among the first to interrogate serial killers and get a sense of their process, using psychology to solve cases. It’s controversial until it works, and soon we see Ford and Tench becoming invaluable to the FBI. Watch it if you’re fascinated with the pathology of a serial killer.

Kevin Bacon stars as an FBI agent that gets perhaps a little too deep when he tries to incriminate a serial killer, Joe Carroll, unaware that Carroll has built up a bunch of followers, people in varying states of wanting to kill like him too. It’s a great premise and clearly with Bacon at the helm, the series has grown to evolve over the course of multiple seasons. The Following never backs away from its main intention to incriminate and in doing so it creates a level of voyeuristic intrigue that would satisfy fans of You and other psychologically leaning crime dramas.

I still remember when the show debuted and I had almost no expectations as I gave the first episode a shot. The first episode soon became the last episode of the first season and it was late we’re talking late night when I finally reemerged. Ozark's punishingly bleak yet empathetic atmosphere casts itself across the entire series. Jason Bateman and Laura Linney don the roles of a married couple that end up deep in cahoots with criminal organizations and drug cartels when Bateman’s character, Marty Byrde, uses his skill and finesse with bending the law to launder dirty money. As one does, playing on the other end of the law becomes an all-consuming gig, and their lives are forever changed. The murky waters they tread are full of monsters, and what’s so refreshing is that those monsters are deeply personal.
