Gregory Lawrence TheWrap "Mastermind" feels content with superficial, Wikipedia-level summary told at an aggressively rushed, and therefore unmoving, pace. Jul 26, 2024 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal The action, so to speak, has taken place in the mind of the subject and all the archival material in the world isn’t going to make it cinematic. Where “Mastermind” really picks up momentum, though, is in episode 3. Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Carol Midgley Times (UK) I found [Ann Burgess] a hypnotic person to listen to, her demeanour — like a cross between Miss Marple and Julie Andrews — contrasting with the grotesquely violent crimes in which she has spent her whole life immersed. Rated: 4/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Steve Murray ArtsATL Mastermind is a true crime doc you won’t feel guilty about watching. Aug 30, 2024 Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier “Mastermind” is a thrilling, must-see series with a down-to-earth relatable protagonist who is, in reality, larger than life. Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider Mastermind: To Think Like A Killer is an interesting look at the fascinating career of Dr. Ann Burgess, highlighting how she changed the way law enforcement looked at rape victims as well as serial killers.

Kate C For anyone who liked Mindhunter (RIP), this show centers around Ann Burgess, the real-life inspiration for the character Wendy. A true crime show centered around Burgess is LONG overdue, and I'm thrilled that this one does her justice. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Bob V Inspiring! I love to see people persevere against the "norms" of societal expectations especially with the passion that Ann had/has for helping victims. The production is well done, oscillating between the personal impact on Anns personal life with the horrors what she sees and hears as a part of her work. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
