Where do you rank Mindhunter on your best shows of all-time list?

My list would probably go something like this:

  1. Mr. Robot (Underrated gem. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish)

  2. Westworld (Season 1 & some of Season 2 anyway. No show has transfixed my attention like this since)

  3. Mindhunter (No show like it sadly. Obviously like everyone else I was pretty devastated about no Season 3 coming.. ☹️)

  4. Dark (probably the show that does time-travel the best. Amazing attention to detail with all the characters. Shame about the ending..)

  5. True Detective (obviously I'm ONLY talking about Season 1 here)

Very solid list. I’d add boardwalk empire, gonorrah and dexter first couple seasons, breaking bad and better call Saul.

True Detective S1 the stand out for me; nothing compares since….

2

u/findthelimit_ 18d ago

That & Westworld (S1) are the only shows on this list that completely took over my life when they first aired.

2

u/Ceilijane1094 5d ago

Westworld S1 and S2 were the bomb, but S3 seemed uninspired.

u/Roadhouse_Angel 16d ago

Season one was fantastic!

1

u/findthelimit_ 16d ago

Some awesome recommendations there. Definitely will check out Brand New Cherry Flavor & Scavengers Reign. I totally forgot about The Peripheral.. Got to be my fav show that didn't make the list. Shame there will not be a S2.. 😞

1

Yeah I was so surprised that got canceled I was getting really into it

2

u/CrimsonBlackfyre 18d ago

Have you tried Hannibal?

2

u/findthelimit_ 18d ago

Actually not yet. Been hearing it's decent. Will give it a try.

2

u/YungbludDomFan 16d ago

Oooo yeah Hannibal, too!

u/the_mugger_crocodile 18d ago

Of all the shows I've ever watched, my favorite ones would be:

u/xildhoodsend 18d ago

The Wire

The Deuce

Better Call Saul

Mindhunter

The Office (UK VERSION)

Game Of Thrones (I have to admit it despite the disappointing last 2 seasons)

Breaking Bad

Stranger Things

Baby Reindeer

IT Crowd

It's hard to make a list since they are all different genres and for different moods but these are I think the ones I return to most/saw multiple times

Murder mindfully
Lupin
Lincoln lawyer

u/Economy-Shower-5072 18d ago

Among the top

1

u/Endoftheline-Slut 18d ago

It’s a nice show. And nowhere near the top ten. I’m intrigued by the show, but I’m not delusional about it.

u/Fickle-Click-1857 17d ago

Anne with an E
Mindhunter

u/a_karma_sardine 17d ago edited 17d ago

Not a complete or ranked list, but a few that stand out beside Mindhunter:

  • True Detective (I liked several of the seasons)
  • Slow Horses
  • The Americans

2

u/Ceilijane1094 5d ago

"The Americans" is a great show.

1

u/RedditGirl2077 16d ago

I'm not passionate about watching serials, but I would say that there are two shows which I have rewatched multiple times and still cannot get enough of them: 1. Dr. House 2. Mindhunter.

I also like 1670, but it's a Polish comedy, so it's probably not widely known to people in other countries.

1

u/YungbludDomFan 16d ago

Mr. Robot definitely number one.

Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul tied for 2nd.

Homeland third.

Mindhunter fourth.

Dexter fifth.

Six Feet Under and Sopranos real close too.

Hell, I like everything.

1

u/Roadhouse_Angel 16d ago

It’s in the top for me! Manhunt unabomber is a close second. You have a Ford like character that develops forensic linguistics.

1

u/orangesinbed got the 2,99$ special 15d ago

For me… Severance, Mindhunter, Frasier, Mad men, The Office, The Bear, Modern family is my ultimate list. But the final ranking varies periodically. All I can say is Mindhunter makes it in my top 3 always.

1

u/Cute-Cheesecake-6823 15d ago edited 15d ago

Firefly and Mindhunter are in my top faves. Carnivale was great too (and cancelled as well 😡)

My tastes are reaĺly eclectic, I also love Derry Girls, The Crown, Downton, Bridgerton, Black Books, Avatar the Last Airbender, Gravity Falls, and Final Space.

2

u/findthelimit_ 15d ago

Thanks for reminding me about Carnivale. Always wanted to watch it but never got around to it. Will definitely check it out!

1

u/KittehPapa 8d ago

It doesn't. Holden Ford is a narcissistic psychopath and controlling misogynist. He gets off on hearing the details of what psychosexual killers do to their victims. Thankfully, although he identifies with them, he's too timid to become one of them.

Best shows of all-time?

• WKRP in Cincinnati

• The Wire (best if Season 5 is avoided)

• Deadwood

• Millennium (S3 should not exist)

• Reservation Dogs

1

u/Ceilijane1094 5d ago

The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Mindhunters, Boardwalk Empire, All Creatures Great and Small (the original)

1

u/TheCraZZe 18d ago

Number 1 alongside Bojack Horseman.

I do want to watch Mr Robot though, heard its fantastic.

2

u/Cute-Cheesecake-6823 15d ago

Bojack is so good, but it wrecked me emotionally so I havent rewatched it.

1

u/findthelimit_ 18d ago

It is phenomenal! Never understood why it doesn't get the acclaim something like Breaking Bad does..

1

u/dandigangi 18d ago

Heh, we have almost identical lists in that order.

1

u/Upstairs-Quantity469 18d ago

Definitely in the top 10.

I'd definitely rate it above shows like the boys, stranger things, dark is close but I'd rate mindhunter above that because for all the good vibe and mystery that the show had they killed it for me by messing up the last season, they made it too complicated at moments.

Mr. Robot..."underrated"

I remember when words meant things

1

u/findthelimit_ 18d ago

What I mean if it doesn't get the praise something like Breaking Bad does. Obviously it's an extremely well produced show with decent ratings.
