I couldn't get through two episodes. The acting is miserable. The lead character and his "gift" just seemed gimicky and silly. The fun thing about police procedurals is the cases - the police solve a case that keeps the viewer guessing. The police are background for the most part. This is not your typical procedural. The main character and his "gift" are the focus of the show. I was excited when I saw Barry Levinson was a producer but for me, this is a complete miss. I'm surprised at the high ratings but I guess there is something out there for everyone and that's a good thing. I'm just stuck on the lead character's silly mysical gift of connecting with victims- too much drama and not enough good realistic police work and that just ruins it for me.
