The Fosters: Season 5 — Available Oct. 5

Mindhunter — Available Oct. 13

Directed by House of Cards producer David Fincher, the dark and gritty series Mindhunter transports viewers into the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit. In a teaser, Groff's partner warns him that a particularly dangerous criminal will "have sex with his face." If anything, this gives us a feel for the edgy and less-than-safe-for-work tone of the series.
