Mindhunters (Cop shows finally up the game)

  

The series takes a realistic approach to the beginning of forensic psychology, and show us the reticence that the federal bureau had to put resources into this investigation of the yet unnamed serial killers. I suppose that back in the day things like mind control and telekinesis were the hot topic.

It is thanks to the extraordinary skill (yet believable and still human) of the main character and his experienced partner that slowly but surely the ongoing research takes place in the mind of cops around the country. 

The fact that characters such as Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Edmund Kemper, BTK, and other serial killers among which we can so on, kidnappers and other charming companies are all real, and their dialogues are based on actual interviews gives the series a sickening feeling that gets you to the marrow.
