I don't like the horror genre, but I was very interested by Mindhunter, a dramatization of an early FBI unit learning to identify and profile and catch serial killers. Apparently, serial killer wasn't really a law enforcement category and profiling wasn't a regular practice until the late 60's early 70's.
