As a true crime and film enthusiast I think this series is worth a 9/10! Not surprising that most of the detective crime shows from Brit Box are well-made. Love docu-dramas based on true events plus the development of this infamous profiler, Pristorious the amazing heroin is a big attraction. This show offers real dialogue, procedural differences in police work, and low use of gun violence which is enlightening. As far as excessive smoking goes, many serial killer investigators, authors, artists, and gangsters chain-smoked in various films. Especially in the area of psychology and counseling, smoking is somewhat of a communication tool indicative of anxiety. Its the vice that drives her genius ability to work through evidence and connect with the perpetrators.

I wondered if I was the only one bothered by her smoking. If the role requires Micki to be a chain smoker, learn how to portray it correctly, not as a 12-year-old imagines it would look like. Very distracting.

I thought I might have been the only one bothered by the smoking. Showing her actually chain smoking is a bit much. That’s my only complaint or issue with the show.

Rather predictable….enjoyed the new setting….her smoking is a strong distraction.

Why must there be so much smoking cigarettes?

Does she eventually go totally nuts? She’s almost there now. Does she really have to smoke that much. She could be dead by the end of the series. Really good series but she’s a little over the top.
