A fresh take on a crime franchise with a provocative and outrageous lead character and a darkly comedic tone. Malcolm Bright knows how killers think. Why? His father was one of the best, a notorious serial killer called “The Surgeon.” That’s why Bright is the best criminal psychologist around; murder is the family business. He uses his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve crimes, while dealing with a somewhat manipulative mother, an annoyingly normal sister, a homicidal father still looking to bond with his prodigal son and his own constantly evolving neuroses.

A bit of over acting from Michael Sheen as a serial killer.

Starfleet Student · 09-08-2019 10:12pm

That looks fun hope it gets shown on tv here.

Agent Coulson · 21-08-2019 3:30pm

First look... Yes Michael Sheen will be overacting, However having Bellamy Young in it will make up for that.

Starfleet Student · 21-08-2019 7:52pm

Is that girl the one from The Orville that had to leave because of her relationship with Seth MacFarlane?

Mr E · 21-08-2019 8:00pm

Halston Sage, yep.

Looks like a good show. I'd put money on a prison break sometime in season 1.

Starfleet Student · 21-08-2019 11:44pm

Thanks for that I was thrown because she looks very young in that trailer the make up she wore on the Orville made me think she was a lot older.

Agent Coulson · 18-09-2019 8:38pm

Starts next Monday

Agent Coulson · 24-09-2019 10:24am

It was an ok pilot episode looks like it's going to be a by the numbers series I will give it a couple more to find its feet and see how it goes from there.

I agree and I think the chaotic psychotic relationship will obviously be key thing how they evolve it in my book. I can see it go a season or two but they'll really need to work on the meta story to go beyond that.

Starfleet Student · 26-09-2019 3:12am

I did not think it was great

JP Liz V1 · 26-09-2019 11:47am

So do we think it is mother or sister?

Michael Sheen and Bellamy Young are great, kinda young though to be the lead's parents

Reminded me of Hannibal and The Following

going from the trailer for the season , I have a feeling

the son was the killer but obviously doesn't remember it and the father decided to take the blame with the mother in the know.

Yeah the age difference between the actors is crazy.

Kids

Tom Payne - 36 years
Halston Sage - 26 years

Parents

Michael Sheen - 50 years
Bellamy Young -49 Years

It's not as bad as Blue Bloods though. Tom Selleck(74) plays son to Len Cariou(79)

Episode two opened up the characters a bit more however it is still going by the numbers.

Well if episode two is anything to go by

the mother was most likely the main person killing or an accomplice at least helping the father hide it all to ensure she had a good life for her family. I'd not be surprised if it turns into the father being the minor baddy taking the fall on behalf of the wife as he was under her control rather than the other way around.

That could of course be the intention as well to make some other twist appear later.

Got through episode 2 and agree, very much colours by numbers. That said don't know how long Michael Sheen cameos can hold the attention. One more just to see for me.

EoinMcLovin · 07-10-2019 8:30pm

Has been given a full season order of 22 episodes

JP Liz V1 · 07-10-2019 10:30pm

I think it might be better as 13 episode season show

Yeah 22 episodes is too much in this day and age. Shorter seasons work better as it means less filler

Agent Coulson · 28-04-2020 5:25am

Well damn that is one hell of a way to end a season finale.

It probably won't be renewed now.

Mr E · 06-05-2020 6:04pm

I just finished this today. Some ho-hum episodes, but the main mystery (anything involving Sheen) was great.

Unreal ending too. A real jaw dropper.

I hope it is renewed. I'd love to see where the story goes from here.

JP Liz V1 · 21-05-2020 10:07pm

Renewed

Good after that cliffhanger ending there needed to be a second season.

Coming to Sky One this month. Glad to see RTE got there first though.

gmisk · 04-08-2020 6:09pm

This is on sky one at the minute....it....is....bonkers

Full_Circle_81 · 04-08-2020 9:08pm

It actually started a good few weeks ago on RTE too. I watched the pilot. As much as I enjoy Michael Sheen, this just made me miss Hannibal all the more. I'll hold back the scathing comments and just say that it wasn't for me....
