I really liked it! I think the main criticism would be that it is pretty slow. I mean, the literally speak pretty slowly! The actor who plays ED Kemper (the co-ed killer) is amazing.

It's tempting me to get Netflix, as Jonathan Groff is the lead.
My friend who is deep into True Crime and FBI/serial killer stuff really liked Mindhunter.
I watched about 15 minutes of the first episode and was saddened, because it didn't look like the kind of show that would allow Groff to burst into songs.
I might give it a few episodes, at least until Anna Torv shows up.

Hmm, yeah.
Off-topic, but I highly recommend the podcast musical 36 Questions, which has Jonathan Groff in it as the male lead, and he does regularly burst into song.
Groff's speaking voice is really soothing, though. I like it.
I'm enjoying it. Groff is fantastic, but so is the rest of the cast.
A Stranger Things content warning, for those who would like it:
In episode 4, there's animal harm.
Can't read. The white-font on the tablet. But I've already watched the whole thing.
I heard it mentioned on another NPR show that Terry Gross is doing an interview with Jonathan Groff today.
