This really is a smart, deep show. It's a bit apples and oranges, but Criminal Minds attacks the serial killer manhunt procedural in much the same way. For several seasons, it was just as smart as art I've seen here so far.
The problem with Criminal Minds is that it went on for a little too long. At some point, the pressure to keep outdoing each season turned the serial killers more and more into absurd and flamboyant villains. That, and the back story arcs got more and more obnoxious.
But the first several seasons are outstanding. The production is nowhere near the quality of Mindhunters, but the acting and stories are great. I mean, competing with David Fincher is not really fair.
But Criminal Minds tells the story of the F.B.I. Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU). It's a perfect companion to Mindhunter, as it is what the folks in Mindhunter are creating. And the series emphasizes both the profiling of serial killers, as well as their interrogation to learn how to stop others.
