Cracker
Based on the popular British version, Cracker is an psychologically thrilling series, produced by Granada Entertainment for the U.S. Creator Jimmy McGovern takes viewers on a innovative ride with his disturbing take on the crime drama genre. This Americanized police-detective series spans over sixteen one- hour episodes set in Los Angeles California. The talented cast includes Robert Pastorelli who plays a criminal psychologist, and Josh Hartnett who plays Gerry Fitzgerald, or “Fitz” for short. Fitz is a psychological genius, but his methods are somewhat unconventional. Also, Robbie Coltrane, who starred in the first British series, plays a villain in on episode. Graham Davies appeared in 1993.Although Gerry Fitzgerald may have a talent for his field, he carries a insulting, nosy, and loathsome tone to his character. In order to make a living, he does lectures at colleges, a radio show, as well as a small business in a local mini-mall. His skill is not overlooked, as police use him often to help solve difficult cases. Thanks to his quirks and perverse thought process, he has the uncanny ability to dive deep into minds of criminals. However, it is not always easy for Fitz. While sifting through other people’s disturbing thoughts and images, he also fights his own demons, including the abuse of alcohol, gambling, and random sexual affairs, all while trying to keep his relationship with his wife Judith and teenage son Michael.
