Amid sweeping changes at the BSU, Holden deals with severe repercussions from his close encounter with Ed Kemper.
The second season successfully remains as excellent as the first and expands the dimensions and social implications in its exploration of the criminal mind.
In the late 1970s two FBI agents expand criminal
science by delving into the psychology of murder and getting uneasily
close to all-too-real monsters.
Excellent TV series manages to create 70s period with atmosphere, and the plot centers more on the development of forensic psychology than on crime detection, but is nevertheless suspenseful. Cameron Britton's performance as the serial killer Ed Kemper is especially chilling.
A Florida police chief must solve a vicious double homicide before he himself falls under suspicion.
Suspenseful crime thriller with an impossibly construed plot that it's only credulity by Denzel Washington's performance of a corrupt cop we're supposed to like.
Halliwell (no star): "Unoriginal thriller, given a classier treatment than it merits."
Maltin**: "This film noir wannabe would have been made effortlessly in the 1940 and '50s but seems heavy-handed and overly contrived here. Lathan is a fine femme fatale but Washington is the last person you's cast as a patsy."
