Investigation Discovery presents the modern-day Clarice Starling as Dr. Michelle Ward goes behind bars to interview violent murderers and offer insight into what drives people to kill with the new series THE MIND OF A MURDERER premiering Thursday, February 19 at 10/9c. From her early doctorate research on psychopathy, to her ongoing study of criminal behavior, Dr. Ward possesses a unique ability to push murderers to the limit, getting them to admit things they wouldn't confess to anyone else. She is trained to go beyond excuses and get to the psychological core of why people commit heinous acts - and she does it alone in a room, face-to-face with coldblooded killers.

Love the fact that it breaks down the psychology of each case, allows the audience to learn both about the psychological aspect of murderers and allows them to voice their own mindsets and motives. I also love that it provides insight into their backstory and how it could have contributed to their actions, yet it is designed as an educational platform to inform the audience rather than one to obtain potential sympathy for these cases. It's very well filmed, organized, clear and by far one of the best shows I've watched.
