The first season of new crime series Mindhunter only recently arrived on Netflix with many already hailing it as one of the streaming service's must-watch shows.
Based on the book by Mark Olshaker and John E. Douglas, produced by David Fincher and directed by Asif Kapadia, the series has some big credentials - and fortunately characters and a story to back it up. Inspired by real like criminal profilers - who interviewed a large number of America's most notorious serial killers as part of the FBI's Behavioural Science Unit in a bid to delve into their psyches to solve pending investigations.
While Jonathan Groff and Holt McCallany play FBI agents inspired by these profilers, the show features several serial killers who are based on real-life figures including the murderer and necrophiliac Edmund Kemper.
Below, as highlighted by IndieWire are clips of some of the real chilling interviews with these very criminals as well as the FBI agents who conducted them.
