神思不属、心神难定之际，最易谋杀时间的方法就是看肥皂剧。昏天暗地，不眠少餐得追看了两季Criminal Minds，在惊悚于人性之荒谬残忍黑暗可怖的时候，自己的绝望苦痛忧惧烦恼反而被暂时搁置一旁，很少触及。
和一般刑侦剧集不一样的是，此剧侧重于运用心理学观点分析人类行为，剖析罪行背后的情感动机和触因，希望能于罪犯实施下一步恶行前抢占先机。观剧过程，让我不寒而栗的，还是人性的幽微曲折和深不可测。平常言谈中，人们常常提及人性、兽性之分，似乎良善之行属于有人性的范畴，而凶残之行则被冠以兽性之名。但其实，也许正如19世纪末期英国历史学家James Anthony Froud所言：“野兽从不以杀戮为乐，人类却是唯一把追逐残杀自己的同胞当作娱乐的生物。” 类似的话，Mark Twain也曾说过：“Of all the animals,man is the only one that is cruel.He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it." 若依此区分，也许我们对所谓人性、兽性的定义理解，应该颠倒过来。

该剧还有一个出彩点，每一集的片头或片尾都会引用一句名人名言，与剧情相呼应。简炼的一句话，或开宗明义，或点睛收尾，经由实例诠释，配合上所观所感，足以让你按下暂停键深思良久。
