there be no relation at all between fortier and profiler but the fact that both be police series about violent crime . profiler look crispy and fortier look classic . profiler plot be quite simple . fortier plot be far more complicated . fortier look more like prime suspect and if we have to spot similarity . the main character be weak and weirdo and but have clairvoyance . people like to compare and to judge and to evaluate . how about just enjoy . funny thing too and people write fortier look american but and on the other hand and argue they prefer american series ( . ) . maybe it the language and or the spirit and but i think this series be more english than american . by the way and the actor be really good and funny . the acting be not superficial at all .
