David Fincher is in a trance again.

He brought us many dark surprises based on "people are very perverted" as the foundation of his directorial career.

The last time he shot an American drama, he filmed "House of Cards", which swept the Emmys.

In this new drama, he rewrote the perversion of human nature and the quality of the TV series.

Some media commented, "As soon as he shoots, the American drama will change."

The story of "Psycho Detective"

is adapted from the American bestseller "Psycho Detective: The FBI Serial Crime Solving Secrets".

The case design in the American TV series "Hannibal" and "Criminal Minds" all refer to this book.

The male protagonist of "Psychological Detective" is the author of the book, John Douglas, a former FBI agent who became "Contemporary Sherlock Holmes".

Douglas is known as the grandfather of "criminal profiling".

Criminal profiling refers to inferring a criminal's psychological state based on his behavior, so as to analyze his personality, living environment, occupation, and growth background.

"Psychological Detective" is set in the United States in the 1970s, and the male protagonist Horton is a member of the FBI.

In the first episode, Holden is dealing with a hostage-taking case.

After a meal of persuasion, the criminal shot in the head.

Holden was immediately frozen.

Horton was transferred to the FBI's Behavioral Division as a lecturer, and he and his partner Bill found that the crime theory at the time was outdated.

Can not meet the current endless "postmodern" homicide.

The murderer's motive for murder has changed from money, sex and hatred to a new stage of "headshot if you are upset".

But at that time, the police in the United States still believed that those criminals were "born bad guys".

Horton and Bill realize they desperately need new research to solve the case.

By chance, they discovered that they could interview repeat offenders in local prisons, understand criminal psychology, and provide criminal profiles for new crimes.

The first interviewee, Ed Campbell, who killed his grandmother at the age of 15, was known as the "schoolgirl killer", beheaded six teenage schoolgirls, and raped their bodies.

He killed his mother with a claw hammer, cut off her head, and carried out lewd acts through her mouth.

He escaped all police pursuit, and finally chose to surrender.

But after meeting, the murderer turned out to be a very gentle, polite, well-bred, and well-educated young man.

Most of these murderers are very cunning, and some of them have fooled "polygraphs," psychiatrists, and police.

It's not easy to get them to tell the truth.

Horton realized immediately that his superiority would not serve the purpose of the conversation.

Because narcissists don't go to the doctor, and sociopaths believe they're fine.

The second time he talked, he learned to talk to them like these criminals.

They even use some words that cannot be put on the table to induce criminals to speak their true feelings.

This trick worked very well, and Ed immediately explained some of his real motives for the killing.

His mother often belittled and abused him.

The motive for molesting his mother is also very simple. The mother came home after getting drunk and said, "I haven't had sex with a man for seven years. It's because of you, my murderer's son."

After killing his mother, he also cut off Her vocal cords were thrown into the trash, because in his impression he had been unable to shut up his mother.

The reason why Ed is always talking incessantly also stems from his mother's nightmare of "not sleeping and talking all night".

He became a murderer, not because he was born evil, but because his mother made him a murderer.

Ed's story tells us that a mother shouldn't despise her son.

At this moment, there was a case of continuous beating and molesting of elderly women.

The two old ladies were beaten, touched, and brutally killed her dog.

They have long lost their beautiful looks, and the old lady said that she hadn't even dressed fancyly since she was young.

The local police speculated that the case was related to religion.

But Houghton and Bill thought of Ed, and they believed the case had something to do with "mother haters."

According to the ages of the two injured old ladies, it was determined that the mother-hater should be a 30-year-old bachelor.

He has been oppressed by his mother for a long time, and since he has no family of his own, he will find other old ladies to vent.

Soon, the police locked the suspect - a 30-year-old single youth.

When he saw a stranger visiting, his first reaction was to keep "calling mom".

And his mother kept complaining: "God, see who you brought into the house".

The family dog ​​was also described by the son as "Mom's dog, not mine".

He hated his mother and hated his mother's dog.

But he will not vent to his mother, because he knows that her mother loves him, so the object of his venting is transferred to the strange old lady who keeps a dog.

The truth is clear at a glance, and the criminal has confessed to his own guilt.

Holden became a hero.

While the first case was a huge success, rewriting history is always a difficult task.

They are still struggling.

Although some prisoners open their mouths, they still haven't found the truth.

Houghton was also charged by an inmate.

The most worrying thing isn't his career crisis.

Rather, it's a change in Houghton and Bill's interviews.

They are being eaten by these perverted murderers.

Bill was smoking more and more, and every now and then he would get angry.

Holden and his girlfriend have passionate scenes in almost every episode, but their passion gradually begins to become strange and alienated as Holden deepens his psychology towards the perverted murderer.

The girlfriend seems to have found something, and dresses up to seduce him, but Horton rejects her because he thinks of a shoe fetish criminal.

Holden is no longer the mama boy who needs his mom to buy clothes.

The biggest difference between this drama and previous crime-solving dramas is that it has almost no violent scenes.

There are no flashbacks of the crime scene.

Even if there are some pictures of the crime scene, they are very brief. The title is the process of one person debugging the tape recorder, interspersed with some very brief pictures of the crime scene, which can hardly be seen by the inattentive audience.

Psycho Detective lets you focus on listening, not watching.

The process of those criminals dictating their criminal motives allows the audience to feel their criminal psychology more realistically and intuitively.

There is even a lot of academic language in the play, and Horton's girlfriend is a PhD student in sociology.

"Psychological Detective" abandons the routine of pediatric investigation, and most of the case analysis involves esoteric behavior, psychology, sociology, etc.

Let the fans of the detective drama be hooked!

The characters on the show, while doing a history-making thing, are not portrayed as a superhero.

On the contrary, everyone's life is extremely awkward.

Holden finds out that his girlfriend and male classmate are having an affair.

Bill's son never spoke to him.

Especially when the male protagonist's performance in the last episode will make you suddenly shocked, no one in this world is normal.

Many prisoners were not born to be demons, they were shaped into big demons by their families and society.

Our preferences are formed at an early age and affect us throughout our lives.

I was looking at others, but began to think about myself.

Think about why you are who you are today.

We are all lunatics.
