Does anyone else watch this show? I have to say I really like it - and I absolutely hate math.
I like how they generally do a good job of blending the crime drama with the science "wow" factor. And it is pretty clean as well.

| I haven't seen this particular show. I used to hate these kind of shows but I got hooked on them my senior year in college. Now I have to force myself not to watch them.

I also hate math but really enjoy this show. It makes you think and frankly, was not written for dumb people! :bigsmile:

I've never seen the show, but I've heard it is based on Geographic Profiling, which I have always been interested in.
In college, we had a series of guest speakers come in and talk to Geography students about their careers in geography. The most interesting, by far, was a man who worked for the Sacramento County Sheriffs department, doing geographic profiling. At that time, we had just had a series of bank robberies in Sacramento, and they suspected the same man had committed them all. Using geographic profiling, this man who worked for the Sherriff's department was able to guess the next bank to be robbed, as well as show a 1/4 mile radius around where the robber lived. Pretty amazing sutff.
