Very informative crime series (even though not all the neuro-scientific theories are true), it contributes a lot to the destigmatization of the schizophrenics while being very entertaining. Good acting from all the main actors, although Rachel Cook doesn't exactly look like an FBI agent. One of the good series out there right now, it is refreshing to see a crime show without all those super expensive lab tech or superpowers to solve crimes. Neuroscience is a growing field and the more we talk about it in the media, the better it is. People not liking this series simply doesn't understand the meaningfulness of this drama. Must watch if you're into psychological series.
This show is everything! I really wished they didn't cancel it, I adored it so so much!
I am currently watching this series for the first time some 7 years after its run finished and I have to day that I am delighted with what I have seen so far. Eric McCormack has never been better in anything that I have seen him in before. His character is totally believable. You would not think that the beautifully petit Rachael Leigh Cook, at 5' 2", could pass herself off as an FBI agent, but, yet again, her portrayal works so well.
Well done to all involved in this series. It is such a pity that its run didn't go beyond 2015.

I enjoyed the show for its actors and the story lines. Never the less I always felt uncomfortable with the messages of the show. I grew up with a paranoid schizophrenic mother. Her perceptions did not give her an insight into reality. Quite the opposite. It was not manageable by her trying to control her delusions. It was delusions which did not get better over time. It made her manipulative in that her delusions would over come my family. They became unable to convince and take action. That responsibility fell on me. She was extremely abusive and she knew how to hurt you in your weakest point. This incapacitated the rest of the family. I would insist on dealing with the symptoms no matter how much she abused me. Her disorder could only be managed with medicine and she had to be hospitalized until her symptoms were under control. Always the delusions were a detriment to her. Sometimes they were terrifying. Medicine was the only thing that kept her functioning until it didn't. Then the doctors would write new prescriptions to get the symptoms under control. Her paranoid schizophrenia was not a functional condition and medicine is sometimes the only thing that keeps the patient together.
A show to fall in love with, I actually loved this pretty much, but I'm so tired of getting all the good shows ripped away from me just to make room for garbage I don't even understand why people watching..
Don't watch if you need a ending, but still amazing show.. just got cut short for no good reason.
