I recall seeing the trailer ads for this leading up to the premiere. Being a huge Michael Sheen fan, i've Not been disappointed. Main actor Tom Payne is new to me but he seems to be more detective than profiler. The actress who plays his mother has a shrill histrionic voice that has grated on me since her days as Millie on Scandal.
Although I do like the dynamic between Lou Diamond Phillips and Payne, the rest of the interactions with other supporting cast seem to have been severely miscast - especially the oriental medical examiner and her "sweet on Bright" comic relief is way outta place.
The girls who plays Ainsley? Never heard of her until this show and until the recent run in with the escaped mental patient who stabbed her boyfriend, she didn't get much screen time. Now that dad colleague serial killer in his own right "Paul" maybe her character can flesh out.
And we really need note Sheen screen time - particularly dad and Malcolm.
And, does anyone know the parable of "The Prodigal Son" from the Bible? It has absolutely nothing to do with Malcolm's relationship to his dad in this show. In the Bible, the Prodigal Son left home and squandered away his heritage and his wealth yet was lovingly accepted back at home by his loving father. Unless you look at the Surgeon's loving acceptance of his son who is well educated and has dedicated his life to fighting crime as penance . . . oh, well.
