    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.

      This should be standard practice when a show is cancelled prematurely: give it a movie to wrap it up. That at least gives your show the reputation of being finished so that others might actually want to watch it in the future.

        It’s a great thought, but if Netflix cancelled a show for “poor viewership performance”, does it make sense to expect them to fund an entire movie instead?

      I disagree - I prefer that Fincher do his job, tell the story the best way possible instead of trying to force everything into a single season or two for “closure”.

      I also think the only reason why you feel this way is BECAUSE Fincher took his time to make two fantastic seasons and a killer cliffhanger. Had he not done that, folks here would probably be complaining about how Mindhunters is a rushed, crammed, underachieving show and not of the quality that we come to expect of Fincher. It would be a completely different show and not the premise we are basing the discussion on.

        I’m glad it’s a quality show but it’s not quality because of the season 2 subplot that ended up going nowhere and leaving viewers dissatisfied. That’s my problem with it. He’s in the business long enough and Netflix have this pattern long enough that he should know better than to do that.
