Er, I mean technically Brian isn't a child murderer. he just watched other kids kill the toddler and then suggest they hang him on the cross because... i mean they're postulating that he thinks like jesus the kid would come back to life, but idk if that was the real reason or not. Unless I missed something? I thought it was established he was just a witness.

I hear what you're saying about the storyline overall, but I disagree. I thought it made Bill's scenes more interesting when he was discussing his work and everyone was making pretty thoughtless comments about how these killers are messed up as children and they ought to just fry them as kids and save everyone the trouble down the road. Bill's having to come to grips with the fact that these people would say that about his own child, and the fact that if Bill wasn't Brian's father, he might think the exact same thing. While also worrying that is might be true; what if Brian can't get help, etc. I don't know. I found that all very compelling.

It's similar to how Dr. Carr has to deal with all these homophobic comments about these murderers who are gay and how her own coworkers pretty much imply that being gay is an illness. She's confronted with that, and it makes those scenes more interesting to me.

I like the plot of developing the Behavioral Science Unit and how that comes to be--where profiling actually came from when we just take it for granted nowadays, but without the personal stories and the character work/arcs, it'd be pretty dry, imo.

ayrt

I think my problem with the series is that I know it's a fictional take on it, but I read books about (and by) some of the people they are supposed to be basing the characters on and the early work of the unit and the study. Even the murdered child is based on a real case involving two brothers (the youngest did participate), and I'm bothered by them presenting fictionalised versions that make less sense. I can hear what they're saying about him only being a witness, but why would a group of older boys not force him to participate? That doesn't make any sense. They would want him to have as much to fear from telling anyone as they did.

I guess I'd prefer it dry by your measure? I don't think their work is boring at all, and I'd rather have 90% less of their personal lives on screen. I'm not very interested in Carr's love life either, I'd rather have more scenes with her working because her job is interesting. I really thought it could do with much more editing because the episodes don't have a good flow as they are.
