Dr. Michelle Ward goes behind bars to interview violent murderers and offer insight into what drives people to kill. From her early doctorate research on psychopathy, to her ongoing study of criminal behavior, she possesses a unique ability to push murderers to the limit, getting them to admit things they wouldn't confess to anyone else. She is trained to go beyond excuses and get to the psychological core of why people commit heinous acts - and she does it alone in a room, face-to-face with coldblooded killers.

"I like the show, but it plays like reality TV despite being portrayed as a science-backed attempt to understand psychologically why the person committed murder. The PhD-holding host investigates cases and interviews the killers, but is obviously biased. Her real goal is to get the “bad guy” to confess and accept responsibility. This is not an impartial investigation into a killer’s mind, and she’s not a mental health professional. If they advertised the show honestly, I’d respect it more. #criminology"
