harmful stereotypes of mental health
It started out fine with a lot of potential. Originally it had a good chance at a good plot but halfway through they just finished part of the main plot? Was a very weird choice to do and rest of the main plot just kinda dragged along with no character development at all. The crimes was kind of interesting but they sometimes magically solved it with profiling in ways I don't know how they did it. They saw like a half eaten cookie and just "this guy must have bad teeth caused by chewing on pencils so we should go see dentists nearby and find the killer in their database" it was just a lot of reaching or sometimes something would perfectly happen right in front of them that caused them to solve it.
The BIGGEST issue i had though with this show was that with every episode though I noticed that all the killers had some sort of mental health problematic that somehow caused them to kill. Mental health disorders does in no way contribute to a person being a killer! This made all the main characters refer to the bad guy as crazy, unstable and other harmful ways to look at mental health. Often they got the diagnosis seriously wrong too! Not sure if this is spoilers but one of the killers had dissociative identity disorder where one of his alters was his abusive dad.. usually DID is caused by trauma and seperates the trauma from the main personality to cope with what has happened. it doesnt intensify it and copy another persons personality?!
Also one of the bad guys had a unnamed mental issue, im guessing they tried a stereotype of schizophrenia but they never said what he had just that he was crazy. He was going to some sort of event to celebrate that he was finally healthy again and ofc he suddenly "snapped" and killed a bunch of people.
Somehow i watched this until the end but the ending made me laugh out loud because it was so stupid. they had so many chances to stop the main antagonist but for some reason never did, you'd think the guns they had was fake at that point.. I would advice to steer clear of this series because its so all over the place.
