Review of Profiler

Profiler (1996–2000)
Not bad, not great.
13 April 2002
This is an example of one of those shows that never quite comes together, but it's got some great pieces, and fine supporting actors. (For my money, Erica Gimpel makes any show better, though I think her talents are largely wasted here - I have never forgotten her guest star turn on Babylon 5, when she let her natural magnetism out of the cage.)

But, for some reason, the plotting is so predictable and banal, my strongest memory of this series is Ally Walker pushing her hair back with her hand three times a minute, or so it seems. Can she say, "barrette?"

Oh yeah, and Robert Davi's excellent turn as a hardnosed FBI agent.

Other than that, I'd rather play an exciting game of Parcheesi.
