9. Mindhunter

Who: David Fincher, Charlize Theron (executive producers); Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany, Anna Torv

What: Set in 1979, and based on the book Mind Hunter: Inside FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit, the show follows two FBI agents who interview imprisoned serial killers to help solve ongoing cases.

Why: The last show setup at Netflix by Fincher turned out pretty well, so hopes should be high for this too. The lead trio may not be A-listers in the Kevin Spacey vein, but it is an interesting mix. With the heavy focus on serial killers, this could well be a taut, tense drama that makes for perfect summer (let's assume it airs in summer) binge-watching.

Where & When: Netflix, TBA

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
