Elite Squad wants to shock and awe, but it lacks the better expressive devices, emotion and directorial virtuosity of the makers of City of God – which it so closely resembles at first glance with its volatile cinematography, raw tone and choppy editing. Unfortunately, the story is about nothing and the characters don't win you over one bit, after an hour you're actually just waiting for everyone to get shot in a shouted and eclectic jumble to keep the peace.

A cold and ultra-carefully shot crime procedural for demanding viewers who this time don’t need any major twists, but are rather content with being presented very small pieces that fit unobtrusively into a large mosaic.

The second season has a very similar concept and dynamics as the first. Likewise with its ills in the form of a few unnecessary episodes that only glue together the broader context of the story without any greater impact. Even so, it is a very careful procedural about a very interesting subject with several now perhaps iconic scenes (Manson). The ending tends to suggest that we'll see another season, but so far it doesn't look like it.

The final episode is good, brilliantly acted, ambiguous, seemingly incomplete. I suppose from a factual point of view it's a no-brainer, it wouldn't be Fincher and co. if it were to be otherwise, and there's a strong feeling that a lover of the genre has done their homework to a tee. Some of the story detours are not fully explained, some are not fully finished and concluded, but I would still like to go to the next season.

Average for Mindhunter, which for the genre is of course above-average. An important man is about to be caught and hopefully everything will finally fall into place.

At times a very peculiar unraveling of the Atlanta case. Rather than a tense and unsettling atmosphere, there is an emphasis on proper detective work. As a viewer experience, is a tad lower than the previous episodes.

Understandably, it fails to replicate the tension and breathtaking clash of two such different worlds as in the previous episode, but even so Mindhunter doesn't lack suspense past the halfway point, and there's no shortage of interesting developments surrounding another active killer, as well as the confrontation of personalities on the side of the law and the pulling of strings in political circles.

It finally happened. Mason on stage and, as expected, the scene with him is amazingly acted and written.

The best interrogation of the entire series so far. Plus an intriguingly evolving story line in Atlanta and the climactic final minutes, where perhaps even more disturbing than the scene itself is the specific tone of Jason Hill's score.

Another episode in the middle that comes up with absolutely nothing new and rather digresses and makes the whole serial killers story more vivid. If they hadn’t released this episode, nothing would have really happened.
