The brilliant mind that solves crimes in this series is also afflicted by a mental disease, that is the dark part of the story. While it is good to bring it into a mainstream series and it sheds light over the lives of people suffering from such afflictions, it makes the series not anybody's cup of tea... and it gives it an edge.
That being said, the way the series is executed is quite professional, goes along with Monk, Lie to Me, The Mentalist and other intellectually written series. It is interesting, educational in ways and also painful to watch.
Also worth mentioning that people suffering from mental syndroms or afflictions, if not rich, are in fact doomed in real life. Sadly. And also in many diafunctional countries - doomed even if a bit wealthy, because they have to hide and have no support network or context or society to integrate into. Just from the stories I know of. Sad, dramatic and scary.
