What do you expect it's about a serial killer. Now they want to cancel. Boo. Put your kids to bed people. No, they shouldn't be watching. It is an adult show

I dont think abc viewers were ready for such an intensely, violent, riveting, drama. Should have been a HBO or Showtime type series. I'm so upset the viewers were unable to appreciate this great series.

Very slow start. The music is good because I'm an eighties kid, but the acting and the plot are kind of stale.
