One of my favorite series. It was created by "The X-Files" creator Chris Carter, but actually I found this series to have a better overall writing quality and a superior atmosphere of dread as it was hugely influenced by the cinematography and grittiness of "Se7en". The lead hero, rubberfaced Lance Henriksen, do the best performance in his life as he plays a man who can see what the killer sees and put himself in their mindset but also manages to be a gentle family father and loving husband. There is also a possible approaching apocalypse that he has to stop which get more explored as the series go. While the first season consist mostly of stand-alone dark serial killer stories by the second season we get to learn that there are darker forces that motivate the killers to do their killing and that there is a greater battle between good and bad. Add on top of this the best score Mark Snow has ever done and great guest actors and this is a must-see. At least for me. Only the ending is a little underwhelming and the reunion at "The X-Files" was even more so as that episode felt half-finished and lacked the heart that this show had.
