Why are the 2nd season of "Hunters for the mind" cool

Netflix released a continuation of one of the most popular service projects. In 2017, produced by David Fincher series caused a real delight of the audience and critics.

The thing is that Fincher, who directed a few episodes and then, created history in its exclusive manner. And "Hunters for the mind" was not another action-detective of brave guys from the FBI, catching killers and unhurried and very detailed story about the very psychology and criminal attempt to understand this way of thinking person.

But the new season has been even more interesting. Although in this case it is difficult to say something like, "He corrects the mistakes of the previous" because as such blunders were not there. Just some of the audience could trip over love Fincher to Interpretations: TV series long dispersed, and then most of the action was simply a questioning and dialogue.

But we can say with certainty that the "Hunters for the mind" received an excellent development. Continuation does not change the original atmosphere just adds to her liveliness and drama.

New dynamic history

Of course, we should not think that the series second season turned into a shooter with chases and gunfights. At the heart of all the same conversations, reflection and investigation. But now the authors are spared from having to acquaint the audience with the characters, but because the action vigorously.

After the finale of the first season at Holden Ford started having problems with the psyche, but soon he returns to work in the department of behavioral FBI. His team-mate Bill Tench all just torn between the family and devotion to duty, and Wendy Carr is trying to find herself in a new relationship.

In the first episode Fincher, who personally put the three series, one gets rid of the trivial line: we card is replaced management, and the new chief is not against the activities of specialists, he only asks to keep everything within the law and reporting.

This allows the story to move away from the traditional combat leadership and devote more time to detective story. But the investigation is really interesting.

First it comes to matters of real maniac nicknamed BTK Killer (from bind, torture, kill). He, like in the first season, the show in the introduction to each episode.

But most of the time given to the disclosure of abductions and murders of children in Atlanta. Heroes all just trying to make a psychological portrait of a criminal using the testimony of various maniacs sitting in prison.

And here is questioning ceases to be an end in itself, as is often shown in the first season. Continued sometimes reminiscent of the legendary "Silence of the Lambs": Criminals in custody, give clues to catch heroes acting killers.

But beyond that Ford and the team has to be faced with a variety of other complications. Firstly, the "Hunters for the mind" reminds us that with the abolition of segregation in the United States, racism has not disappeared completely, and crime in some areas, the police prefer not to notice.

And secondly, each of the characters constantly have to solve personal problems.

The chemistry between the characters

Despite the fact that this series is equally dedicated to the whole team, initially still in the spotlight was Holden Ford's revolutionary techniques and unstable character.

In the second season of the protagonist wants to be called Bill Tench. His family unfolds a truly tragic story, and Holt MakKellani more opportunities to show his acting talent - copes perfectly.

Personal problems Tench as it reflects the activity of the team itself: at some point the family has to be faced with exactly the same questioning and learning on the part of other public services. And Bill attempts to be both a good family man and a professional most touching part of the season.

Of course, Ford's questioning did not disappear, moreover he has a new and interesting partner, who sometimes consults better than more experienced colleague.

A little from the general dynamics of Wendy - its line now seems not so important, although Anna Torv great wins back lost man, who can not decide what he wants from life. But to call this character can not be superfluous.

Because in the new season felt real chemistry between the characters. For communicating the main trio and their colleagues a pleasure to watch. These are the jokes, and sometimes violent disputes that will seem familiar to anyone who has worked in a friendly team. And while everyone wants to help each other, knowing that everyone has his own skeletons in the closet.

And sometimes the "Hunters for the mind" of the viscous series of maniacs psychology turns into a real drama.

This liveliness sometimes lacked the first season, and that it is in the amount of a clear-cut line makes the detective extension easier and more understandable.

"Star" maniacs

Even before the release of all the trailers and promotional materials promised the audience an important bonus to an interesting story - the emergence of Charles Manson. This ambiguous criminal again on everyone's lips.

Partly because of the grim anniversary: ​​50 years ago, in the night from 8 to 9 August Manson followers murdered Sharon Tate and several other people. And to some extent, because of its appearance in the movie "Once in Hollywood ...».

What is interesting, in the "Hunters for the mind" and Tarantino role played by the same actor Damon Herriman, really very similar to the famous criminal.

About Manson mentioned once in the first episode, and for the most avid viewers here will be a logical argument characters: Charles can hardly be called a serial killer in the conventional sense, because he did not kill.

High-grade appearance legend will have to wait until mid-season. But it sure does not disappoint.

Manson in the series serves as an almost stellar guest. Maniac give a ten-minute solo output.

In addition, the show and its follower Tex Watson, as well as other well-known killers. Among them are the famous Son of Sam, Dean Assistant Dean Corll nicknamed the Candyman and familiar for the first season Edmund Kemper.

Each of these authors tried to show as much as possible approached to real prototypes. And if someone wants after watching "Hunters for the mind" to study the biographies of criminals more detail, certainly surprised similarity.

A mixture of fiction with documentary evidence does show is very plausible. At some point, it begins to seem that the main characters are as real as the victims and their relatives. And because I want to genuinely experience and for those and for others.

---

The first season of "Hunters for the mind" let to doubt the very idea of ​​normality: even positive characters were serious problems with the behavior and reasoning maniacs sometimes seemed very much logical.

Continued covers a complex subject: the impact of each action on relatives the killersVictims or detective. Here and mothers of missing children, which for the rest is only part of the statistics, and the inability of the characters to understand themselves. And the very infallibility of the justice machine even led by dedicated professionals doubt.

Despite the fact that he himself David Fincher took only the first three series, and then worked the other directors (also very experienced), the season looks solid film for nine hours. Style, colors, long conversations, taken almost stationary camera, as well as attention to detail and incredible emotion - all of this is reminiscent of the best work of Fincher.

And because the second season is very easy to see even heavily for one to two days. After all, in spite of the firm "viscosity" it is not boring, but more and more captures with each episode.
