Recenzie
Great actors but a declining storyline
The plot delves into the psychology of a murderer, understanding their intentions, and using the data to categorize murderers into some sort of personality types. I found the idea to be rather interesting as I personally like psychological thrillers. However, this series failed to hold my interest till the end.One would expect thrillers to be 'gripping' and you would want to hold your breath as they challenge the murderers and uncover details of the case. This was only largely seen in the first story in the series. Honestly, Part 1 of this series was captivating. The first few episodes were great, and shows promise to this series, however as the series progressed, I found myself skipping through the scenes. The acting was amazing, especially some of the prisoners they interviewed. However the series failed to explore more details in the psychology of a murderer, and somehow the crimes get more easy to solve. It seemed like a disappointment from the first few episodes and furthermore, there wasn't much character development. It was just a monotonous solving of crime after crime.
Overall, a mediocre thriller, not as dark as I would like, but it's an interesting watch for sure.

Kim Nam Gil undeniably deserved an award for his performance here. The degree to which you believe that this is a man who has seen the worst of human depravity is remarkable, and you can see this heaviness weigh on him and how it increases throughout the show. It is also intriguing to learn about the inception of criminal profiling, although to be honest I have my doubts. Occasionally in the show there were times when I thought it actually didn’t help catch criminals all that much. It’s not that their assessments weren’t accurate, but it sometimes only helped affirm a suspect was guilty when they had already been caught. I also thought it was kind of weird that being trained in psychology or psychiatry wasn’t required, although I’m sure that’s a thing nowadays. Another thing that bugged me a bit was how Kim Nam Gil’s character was a little too perfect. He was not only empathetic and smart, he also happened to be a good fighter. The fact this is adapted from an autobiography probably helps explain the extreme positive light. Speaking of fighting, I don’t love how they handled the one female detective. The kind of weird power dynamic between her and Kim Nam Gil’s character was uncomfortable and I don’t like how they undermined her competency. The autobiography origin of this story also probably explains the overall structure of the story. It has multiple serial killers, so there are basically story arcs with each killer. Since this is a 16 episode show and not a monster of the week type show, I found the pacing a little off. And to be honest, it was a bit repetitive at times. Towards the end I wasn’t motivated to finish because there wasn’t a bit culmination of things to look forward to, just another serial killer among the list of ones we have already seen. Ultimately what I think makes this show great are the amazing acting performances, and the interview scenes with the serial killers were fantastic. I don’t think this show is bad, it’s fairly good, but I’ve seen enough thriller/mystery serial killer type stuff that this didn’t do anything new for me (despite the show trying to do the profiling angle).
