  Yeah, well fuck you for not even handing it off to someone who could pick it up and run with it if you can’t be bothered.

    “But it’s a very expensive show and, in the eyes of Netflix, we didn’t attract enough of an audience to justify such an investment [for season three]. They took risks to get the show off the ground, gave me the means to do Mank the way I wanted to do it, and they allowed me to venture down new paths with The Killer [his next feature]. It’s a blessing to be able to work with people who are capable of boldness.”

    Can’t exactly blame Fincher for that outcome. Jonathan said as much, Mindhunters is Fincher. The creator of the show is part of its DNA. Would you really want Fincher to hand it off to someone and potentially pull a Dexter or GOT S8?

      It’s like Netflix has never heard of a “loss leader”. People don’t pay exorbitant subscription fees to watch the latest Project Runway knock off show.

      I also find it difficult to believe it’s more expensive than the average TV drama, considering Fincher already has a development deal with the network.

      I still blame Fincher for using season 2 to set up season 3 and then give us nothing. Given Netflix’s track record and Fincher not being some noob, he should have made sure each season had no whole-story dangling threads. I would settle for a short story tying it up at this point, he could do that.

      It’s his alone, so don’t blame him.

    to make some glorified cheap knockoff without any of the original vision?

  Well MAYBE if you hadn’t set up a massive cliffhanger and spent pretty much all of season 2 reading season 3, we would be fine with it. But you didn’t.

    On Netflix. The service infamous for two-season dead ends.

  Mindhunter is one of the reasons why I like to wait until a show has concluded before I commit yo watching it, especially dramas.

    I still enjoyed my time watching this show. Yeah it sucks that we’re not getting another season, but at least it’s not over 5 seasons long and all the stories just stop.
