Features: DVD
Created by Cynthia Saunders (L.A. Law) and starring Ally Walker (Singles, While You Were Sleeping) PROFILER is a taut, stylish thriller that explores the darkest corners of the human psyche. Coaxed back to the Bureau by her mentor Bailey Malone (Die Hard's Robert Davi) Sam picks up where she left off, using her gift--and the help of an elite team of specialists--to unravel high-profile cases that stymie other investigators. PROFILER's explosive first season* is available on DVD for the first time.

Editor's Note
One of the FBI's most valued agents is Dr. Samantha Waters (Ally Walker), a forensic psychologist whose special powers of telepathy are harnessed when high-profile cases reach a dead end. Waters has the unique ability to visualize crimes from both the victims' and criminals' perspectives, and though she uses these psychic abilities to solve difficult cases for the elite Violent Crime Task Force headed by Bailey Malone (Robert Davi), she remains unable to nab the elusive serial killer who murdered her husband. Tense, atmospheric, and stylish, PROFILER was created by TV veteran Cynthia Saunders (L.A. Law). This 6-volume box set contains all 21 episodes of the first season.
