I read and enjoyed Douglas' books and enjoyed the first season very much.

Also, having been in my late teens during the years the show takes place, I can say that they nailed the period perfectly.

Bummed that I'm probably going to have to wait at least a year for Season 2. :(

The way that I interpreted the second half of the show was that they were essentially showing that profiling is non-scientific and very dangerous in the hands of overconfident people. Both Dr. Carr and Holden's girlfriend go out of their way to argue that what he is doing is not scientific and has no predictive value. His girlfriend correctly points out that in the Georgia case he was working backwards from a conclusion.

And even Tench says at one point "What we're really doing is just good, old-fashioned police work."

Just watched the first episode. I really quite like it so far BUT

the opening credits are the most irritating thing I have ever seen and not in a good way.

Skip intro.
