(Miriam could have a spinoff as one of those profilers who was kidnapped by a nutjob, so she has special insight into the nutjobs, a la The Inside.)

I would read this book series so hard, I can't even explain it in words.

....I gotta confess, I didn't want to be RUDE (LOL) but I quit the show in rage and sadness (altho I was only watching about 1/3 of the eps) when Beverley got killed. I Did Not Care about all the justifications ("he respected her!"), I was so bummed. So hell yes, BEVERLEY LIVES, and is not made into some knockoff Damien Hirst thing.

I KNOW I WAS SO DEVASTATED. When it happened it was literally like, an instantaneous reaction in my brain where I went, "BEVERLEYYYYY!!!! NOOOOO!!! Okay we'll just be ignoring that and rewriting canon, let's move on" over the course of half a second, lol. I wish they hadn't made the decision to kill her off, although I appreciated the discussion of it from the bts stuff where Bryan Fuller explained that they wanted to really earn her death, which I think is, in general, a better way to approach character death than a lot of thriller TV shows take.

Like, definitely don't love that a WoC died to further a cis white male character's manpain but at least it was supposed to be an impactful moment happening to a character the audience was supposed to love and enjoy.

Anyway, BEV LIVES for sure.
