Screened episode(s) : 1 & 2
Format : 10 x 60min

The harrowing true story of former journalist-turned-psychological profiler Micki Pistorius, South Africa’s first serial killer profiler. Adapted from Pistorius’ memoir, the series is set in the mid-90s and traces her quest to track down South Africa’s most feared killers. At this time, the country was gripped by an epidemic of rising crime and murder.

Our take

The first series entirely shot in South Africa in competition at Series Mania, Catch Me a Killer looks at the true story of Micki Pistorius, the country’s first-ever profiler and the first woman in her profession. A female Mindhunter in the guise of a wonderfully-produced, sensitive, deeply human, true-crime series.
