It fell a bit into the trap of writing things so dark and hopeless for the heroine that there was no way out and any ‘happyĮnding’ was going to seem contrived, and if I remember I lost interest at that point though it may have been on something I liked better. I did stick through at least the first two seasons and part of the third though. My over all impression was positive, though toward the end it or I lost interest.

They were right on target.ħ Responses to “A TV Review: PROFILER – Pilot (1996).”īoth PROFILER and PRETENDER were good series, the former turning much darker later in its run. Either that, or Sam ought to have listened to her own deductions to that point. On the negative side, a recognized the killer as soon as the character appeared on the screen. There seems to be a good chemistry between the leading players (see above), which is always a help. I don’t know how many more in this set I will watch, but I do have four seasons’ worth, so I may.

I should also mention that “Jack of All Trades,” whom Sam was never able to catch, murdered her husband three years ago, and is one of those serial killers who loves to taunt the police - and Sam in particular - about their ineffectiveness in nabbing him? She’s called into action as this episode begins by her former mentor, Bailey Malone (Robert Davi) when the police in Atlanta run into a brick wall trying to catch a killer who has been killing another beautiful woman every Saturday night. Sam is forensic psychologist with the unique ability to personalize crime scenes and “see” the killer, not with extrasensory perception, but by picking up clues that others miss. Samantha “Sam” Waters, is back in action again after a three years’ leave of absence. Over and above that, and how it plays out over the entire length of the season I don’t know, is the presence of Ally Walker’s character’s nemesis, a serial killer dubbed “Jack of All Trades,” who notices that Dr. What I didn’t realize at the time, but I soon found out, was that basic premise of Profiler is catching another serial criminal every week, not always a killer, but arsonists and other assorted low life. The rest, mostly movies - romantic comedies - from the same time period, I’ll soon be donating to the Local Library. Of the other DVDs in the the lot I kept another 15 or 20.

I’d never heard of either series - I wasn’t watching much network TV at the time - but the opening bid was cheap enough ($99 for 65 DVDs) - and lo and behold, no one bid against me. I saw a large lot of DVDs up for bids on eBay, and not only in the lot were all four seasons of this series, but three seasons of another NBC series that ran at the same time, The Pretender. I came by the DVD box for this series in part by accident.
(Season 1, Episode 1.) Ally Walker, Robert Davi, Julian McMahon, Roma Maffia, Michael Whaley, Peter Frechette, Erica Gimpel, Caitlin Wachs.
