Great show. Season one was as great as any single season of The X-Files. If you haven't seen it you should. Unlike other shows Carter did, this one felt wholly unique and didn't rip off X-Files themes, conspiracies or the trust dynamic until it was brutally dumbed down by the Fox network in Season 2 when they handed it over to simplistic writers James Wong and Glen Morgan; Chris Carter was too busy overseeing The X-Files Season 5 and the film. The first season really tries to give serial killers a more realistic depiction in often making them sympathetic and torn.
Here's the pilot, which is all I could find on youtube.com, and it's not as great as it will become with the family dynamic coming across as a bit too self-conscious, but around Disc 2 or 3 is when things really get great on the DVD set. Even the second episode is much better. Frank Black's scene describing things to the police about the killer is fantastic, though; such a quiet confidence to his character! Terry O'Quinn from "Lost" is great, too. Big thanks to whoever uploaded it on youtube.com.
