This show is full of pseudo-Freudian nonsense, where the majority of serial killers are impotent bedwetters. This is entertainment for people of mediocre intelligence. This explains why it was on television for so long.
The quotes from classic writers are nice, but even nicer would be if the writers of the show had a tenth of the talent they quote from. Criminal profiling is a controversial endeavor and shows like this do it a disservice. The actors are hammy and all too happy to deliver the propaganda of today. If the real FBI has criminal profilers like the ones depicted in the show then that would explain why they never catch anyone.
