So apparently this is based on a book. And judging by the comments, they imagine the book to be different than the show and fault the show for it. Well guess what, they are different things. While the show may differ from the book, I don't really care. The show is excellent. It's one part procedural, that follows a case of the week, but there are human elements that serve as thru lines from week to week. Will is set up to be a partial savant, but he's got flaws. He's not perfect. He's damaged, as are most people in reality. He is portrayed not as a genius, but someone who is really good at parts of their job, but less so at other parts. He's not infallible, he sometimes needs help and that is where the rest of the cast comes in. Week to week they work on cases, helping each other and working a way forward. Everyone contributes and are allowed to be full characters. The stories are told with humor and heart. Highly recommended, I hope it lasts.
