A crime drama following a criminal psychologist who assists the police in stopping killers.


Malcolm Bright is a criminal psychologist with a special gift. He knows how the minds of killers work. This is because in the 1990s, his dad was a notorious serial killer known as "The Surgeon."

He uses his ability to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with his manipulative mother and homicidal father who is still looking to bond with his prodigal son.

I don't know if I can continue watching this. I liked the idea but the main character and his mom are such awful actors that it's hard. I struggle through it but keep watching because Michael Sheen is so fantastic as the serial killer. I'm really disappointed when he doesn't make an appearance. I don't know if this show will survive but I do know that even if I finish this season, I can't torture myself with another unless they recast those two.

I like this show but the mom character was a poor choice. I get that she is rich but it is hard to not see that she is the same age as her “children” also, the acting could be better with some of the other actors. However, I like the plot and the interesting cases.

I like this show but have to agree with another poster about Tom Payne. His acting is really bad. This is the first time I've ever seen him in anything that I am aware of, but he is really bringing it all down for me. I like the rest of the cast, aside from the mom character, and I find the plot really interesting. I'm hoping his acting chops improve because I might not be able to stomach another season.

The only reason to watch this show is for Michael Sheen. He's brilliant. Aside from him, the acting is mediocre at best.The plot is interesting and I think had they cast someone else as Malcolm, it would have been better but Tom Payne just doesn't have the acting chops to be a main character. Yes, he was a semi-main character on TWD but he wasn't that great on there either. This show he's even worse.

So far I'm finding the episodes interesting and worth my time but they have to get rid of those crescendoing music swells leading into every commercial. They cheapen the whole endeavor.

With all the choices for entertainment this will not make my continue to watch list. Couldn't get past the first episode. The premise of the show is horrible. Great cast though.
