What happens
Cracker is an American crime drama series based on the British television crime drama of the same name created by Jimmy McGovern. It stars Robert Pastorelli as criminal psychologist Gerry 'Fitz' Fitzgerald, and Josh Hartnett in his first television role, appearing in several episodes playing Fitz's eldest son. Robbie Coltrane, the star of the original series, appears as a villain in one episode. An "innovative but disturbing" take on the standard police-detective genre, the Americanized Cracker consists of sixteen one-hour episodes set in Los Angeles and was produced by Granada Entertainment. It ran on ABC from September 18, 1997, until January 24, 1998. The remade show was broadcast as Fitz in some countries, including the United Kingdom. The series focuses on a professional psychologist who assists the Los Angeles Police Department due to his unique ability in understanding the psychology of criminals. But this understanding is based largely on this troubled man having similar inner demons and addictions to the criminals which he is investigating. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
