I thought it was an extended version of Hannibal. After watching a few more episodes, I felt that it should be a perverted version of criminal psychology. At the same time, it combines Hannibal with some elements of basic deduction and bones.
Hannibal's elements are: a perverted murderer, imitating a murderer, a homicide to guide the police to solve a crime, a perverted homicide listening to perverts, and suddenly he is a savvy and well-educated old man.
The factor of criminal psychology: After the crime, the criminal profiling is done by professionals. Each episode of this film has a psychological profiling.
Basic deduction: This play borrows Holmes's role as a regular consultant. It is not a policeman, but it can help the police solve the case.
Bones: It's the job of the Japanese woman. Every episode has to be dissected, but it's limited to anatomy. There is no reasoning ability like the female doctor in Bones. It is estimated that Qin Ming, a Chinese forensic doctor, imitated this script.
