The psychological procedural, premiering Sept. 25 and starring an engaging Jesse L. Martin, has a solid premise that should suit it well if it can sustain its contextual arc.
He’s also dealing with a trauma from his past which he can’t quite shake.
Years earlier, he was the victim of a church-bombing that killed a friend and left Alec burned over 60 percent of his body . It’s what motivated his early research and he says he thinks about it every day — but, really, he’s blotted out a big part of what happened that night . It resurfaces in a big way when the alleged bomber, arrested on circumstantial evidence, comes up for parole.Sergei Bachlakov/NBCSergei Bachlakov/NBCThe writing here is solid and, at times, witty — “If you kill me, I stop talking,” Alec says to a guy holding him at gunpoint and imploring him to shut up — and he explains his psychological method in simple terms: “Memory is fallible”; he “divorces emotion from reason”; “Memory is the greatest con man of human nature.
Martin, a series veteran, knows his way around a set and around the ebb and flow of an hourlong procedural and he’s fun to watch as Alec finds different paths into the psyches of the confessors and the actual guilty parties .
