Amelia Sachs (Arielle Kebbel) is an NYPD beat cop working in the subway. She takes care of her younger sister Rachel after losing her parents in a horrific killing spree. She aspires to be an FBI profiler but gets rejected. She is called upon an unusual crime scene and gets recruited to be the eyes and ears of famous profiler Lincoln Rhyme (Russell Hornsby). Three year earlier, Lincoln was paralysed by serial killer "The Bone Collector" who is now back.
The 1999 movie is fine but nothing too good. I had a similar feeling when this show first begins. Kebbel is the too hot cop and Hornsby is the intense black guy. Their chemistry is able to grow over time. The gear is a little silly. As always, the show tries to make everything a little flashy. It's trying to ramp up a lot of things unnecessarily. I do like the villain. This show was probably aiming for a new villain each year with an overarching villain puppet master. The book series has a lot of sequels and would provide material for the show. At last, it never got a second season and the show is canceled after a ten episode first season.
