weakness

TV "A viewer?s anxiety while watching Conviction doesn?t necessarily spring from a murderer on the loose, but from the decisions made by those tracking down the culprit. In that respect, it feels like a spiritual descendant of the popular Prime Suspect, but even more so the fantastic U.K. crime series Cracker, which starred Robbie Coltrane as a police psychologist whose all-consuming appetite for the weakness of criminals was matched only by a tornado-like disposition toward his own fractured personal life." -- US reviewer Robert Abele comes to terms with the suffocating UK crime drama Conviction which was one of our tv highlights last year.
