I watched the whole series with a mounting sense of frustration. Well produced, well directed, and a talented and watchable cast, all let down by increasingly absurd plots and characterisation. I lost count of the number of times the lead detectives became near-victims of the killers themselves. The female detective made so many terrible decisions that it was impossible to believe she'd be leading a team. She had very poor judgement, while the male psychologist was magically omniscient. There were at least two members of the police team who were never developed as characters at all. After 12 episodes I still didn't know one of their names.
On top of all that, although I love police dramas, I am only really interested in solving the mysteries. I am totally disinterested in serial killers and don't like gratuitous gore. This show has plenty of that.
Still, I awarded a generous 7/10 because I liked the cast so much. They deserved better scripts.
