It seems to be going the route of one episode, one case.
But these cases may have a connector, which is the villain Leland Townsend played by Michael Emerson, the respected boss of Finch in Suspect Tracking. The second third of this episode appears, and it's really evil, and it's like a different person from Finch.
Acosta and Bouchard had a conversation about whether they believed in science. Both gave examples and felt that either made sense.
A: Do you think science can answer every question?
B: Yes, I do. I do. Just not all at once.
A: So there are no mysteries? No miracles?
B: A doctor creates a hearing aid for a deaf man who hears music for the first time. That's a miracle. Philae probe lands on a comet 100 million miles away, a comet traveling at 11,000 miles per hour. That is a miracle. They just happen to exist. They're real. But ghosts and demons and that thing on her phone, or whatever it was, I don't know what to do with that.
A: Ten years ago I decided to drop out and travel the world and the farther I got from America, the more I realized how little I knew. I saw a shaman in Kyzyl transfer his soul to a dying child. I saw a woman in the Indus Plains come back to life after drowning for 20 minutes. Science is only good for repeatable phenomenon. And most of life, the most interesting parts, don't repeat. So science doesn't recognize them.
The show clearly believes more in science. The mysterious whispers in the play are all sounds when certain devices in the home are blocked; dreams at night often come from a suggestion during the day; the criminal LeRoux does not know Bouchard's dreams and other psychological activities, it is Townsend who stole the psychiatrist's notes. , and passed the obtained information to LeRoux; LeRoux himself had evil thoughts, and only Townsend controlled him. Everything is explained.
But there is still a question, in real life, can you really escape the punishment of the law on the grounds that the devil is possessed?
The pilot episode has a tight rhythm, and the script is well written. A story is told within 42 minutes. The villain and the positive action team have clearly explained their origins, character characteristics, and purpose of action. The suspense in the next episode is also just right.
