Mindhunter, Netflix's psychological crime drama, employed music as an essential storytelling tool throughout its two-season run. The series featured an original score composed by Jason Hill, released around 2017 on AppleSpotify as a 20-track soundtrack, alongside well-curated period-appropriate songs that elevated the late 1970s and early 1980s ambiance.
The show's landscape perfectly complemented David Fincher's meticulous direction, creating a disturbing atmosphere that drew viewers into the minds of both FBI officers and serial killers.
