There is a certain formula each episode follows. There are multiple scantily clad young women who get brutally murdered. There will be many scenes of hookers and trashy bar people. Police are rude to Dr. Tony Hill and refuse to work with him. They are gradually won over. People who are innocent are very rude to the police and refuse to co-operate for no apparent reason. Dr. Hill comes up with detail after detail about the perpetrator, without any more explanation of how he did it than Sylvia Browne, psychic, ever gives. The criminals are deeply psychologically twisted, far more so than any person you have ever encountered, even in the newspapers. There is a last minute dash to rescue some young woman being held by a psychopath. She is always rescued.

Despite this strong formula structure, the episodes are entertaining and surprising.
