When Criminal Minds is not enough for you

Top Shows Like ‘Criminal Minds’ That You Can Stream on Netflix

Criminal Minds started with a great push and thrill. To help us understand
criminal profiling, there is always something to learn from the show. The
episodes are very enjoyable, and even the flawed characters are very well
appreciated. Furthermore, the American TV show became popular after the audience
liked how the show has both, plot twists and character developments. However,
the history of Criminal Minds on Netflix has been a rollercoaster with the show
coming on and off the streamer and some of its seasons now on Paramount+.

NETFLIX SHOWS LIKE CRIMINAL MINDS

MINDHUNTER

If you like Criminal Minds, this masterpiece created by Joe Penhall is for you.
If you are into movies like Zodiac, it would thrill you to know that David
Fincher

is one of the producers of this show. The show is a psychological drama/thriller
and focuses on the psyche of a criminal. Why does a serial killer kill? It not
only shows the other side but focuses on the real question, why? This show blows
your mind with each episode. Mindhunter
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-mindhunter-season-3-would-see-bill-and-holden-in-hollywood-if-it-ever-reaches-our-screens/]
has two seasons on Netflix, and the pacing is ideal.



The cast is amazing. Remember the guy from Fight Club who says, “In death, a
member of project mayhem has a name…”? Yes, Holt McCallany stars in Mindhunter.
Along with him, Hannah Gross and Jonathan Groff are there. Stream this show on
Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/watch/80114855?source=35].

BLACK MIRROR

Netflix’s miniseries, Black Mirror, is very engaging. Each episode has a unique
narrative to tell, and while not all of them are fun to watch, most of them are.
The genre is a thriller with a hint of science in it.



Fans of the show keep it alive by talking about it on social media platforms,
like Reddit. There is also a movie based on the series, and you can actually
control the ending. With 5 seasons on Netflix, you can watch any episode,
discuss theories with other fans, and impossible to describe how amazing the
graphics are. Stream this show on Netflix
[https://www.netflix.com/watch/70264888?source=35].

BREAKING BAD

Starring one of the most loved duos, we have Breaking Bad. The show is about a
smart chemistry professor, Walter White, and his student Jesse Pinkman. Most of
the episodes are engaging enough, however, some stand out. “Walter White is a
brilliant man and an accomplished liar who lies best to himself,” says Vince
Gilligan, the creator of Breaking Bad.



Although the show ends on a light note, it makes you cry, and if that’s not
enough, you can always watch El Camino or Better Call Saul. Stream this show on
Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/watch/70143836?source=35].

AMERICAN VANDAL

American Vandal is a great mockumentary. Even though it is funny, all jokes are
mostly ironic. This amazing documentary by Netflix
[http://netflixjunkie.com/category/news] has two seasons, and it stars Peter and
Sam. This duo looks into a peculiar and bizarre case involving their high school
prank.



The second season is a little slow, however, there are scenes where you would
question everything with them. “Still can’t find me? I strike in 3 days, try to
crack it,” says the Turd Burglar, from season 1. Who is the Turd Burglar?
American Vandal answers the question. Stream this show on Netflix
[https://www.netflix.com/watch/80117545?source=35].

DARK

Hands down, one of the best thriller series on Netflix. It is dark and engaging
at the same time. The series has 3 seasons, for us, we go down the Reddit rabbit
hole with each episode.



Dark has the power to make you question every theory on time traveling you
thought you cracked, since “everything is connected“, is the theme. Although the
series has now ended, we can vouch it makes sense and is a great watch. Stream
this show on Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/watch/80100172?source=35].

PSYCHO-PASS

In case you are into Anime, Psycho-Pass is a great watch in the thriller genre.
The anime follows a setting where the mental condition of a person and their
propensity for criminal behavior can be measured.



Even though Psycho-Pass starts like every other anime in Japan, what makes it
special is the way you want to watch all three seasons. Stream this show on
Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/watch/80006146?source=35].

DON’T F**K WITH CATS: HUNTING AN INTERNET KILLER

Without giving much about the show, a really fascinating aspect of this series
is how we watch a serial killer, and how he develops his brain and organizes his
life around a selection of movies he saw. The only issue with this show that we
understand is that it dramatizes situations that are not that dramatic.



One character even compares the anticipation of the murder to the anxiety felt
during 9/11. We understand how bad the situation was. However, considering how
many more lives were lost on 9/11 than there are in a group of people watching
videos while hiding behind screens. So, a big *trigger alert* for this one.
Stream this show on Netflix [https://www.netflix.com/watch/81031373?source=35].
