Best way to approach this tv series is that its 100% based on psychopathology and the darkest side the human soul. its the broken human soul that compells extreme acts of depravity, violence .. there is no place this doesnt go... pedophiles, incest, beastiality, satanism, fundamental christians, child killers, oepidal complex,self harm, cannibalism, bondage, all kinds of fetish, drug users and of course the narcissitics psychopaths...all the sickos you can imagine, this goes into the glory details , doesnt skimp on the blood and guts and goes deep into their heads and turns out episodes that leave you guessing at the edge of your seat till the end... its a classic who done it detective mystery.
If you like dry detective work, heavy drinking cop shows, gangs, drugs, shoot'em ups... you probably *wont* like this one as there isnt much tough guy, street cred, grit and fast draw action in this, instead its all internalised as dr hill discects crime scenes, profiles, interrogates and puts it together ..
bad points? 1) sometimes its contrived as the good dr. who is wrong is somehow later shown to be right about with his analysis .. feels like they had to rework the plot too often. 2) sometimes unbelievable plots... the nick of time rescue is a bit cliche, they always catch the bad guy just before he cuts victims throat at eats him 3) some episodes are weaker that others...in weaker episodes it feels like the episode was written in reverse ie. they tried to write the story to fit the ending which makes the story unconvincing
good parts - too many, should just watch it if you like this type of show.
only people who wont like this would be those who dont like the genre...
score 8/10
