Cracked
Created by Tracey Forbes, Calum de Hartog
A procedural crime drama that pairs psychological investigation with the clinical study of mental illness, treating criminal pathology as a puzzle to be understood rather than simply solved.
The Psych Crimes Unit, a unique team of police detectives and mental health professionals, is tasked with solving bizarre and chilling crimes that cross the boundary between law enforcement and psychological disturbance.
