Good, but not great

An interesting premise, and explores a side of crime dramas beyond the usual clues and characters having an einstein moment. Where the drama falls short is in the character development and the amount of them which are redundant. A lot of characters are introduced but don't really drive the plot or serve any significant purpose. Case and point is the journalist and her boss. They don't affect the plot whatsoever, and are pretty redundant outside of giving the Behaviour Analysis team an interview. Yet we see them every single episode bickering. Same goes with the data analyst on their team, he doesn't contribute anything apart from helping them bounce ideas and just stays in the office. The two leads also lack chemistry, we don't see them learn alot about each other. There are also some pretty underwhelming resolutions to some of the serial killers.

Compared to Signal or Beyond Evil, it falls short.
