It's a US sci-fi series, bit XFilesish (the third season is currently airing on GO on Wednesdays). Basically, an FBI agent, an eccentric scientist who was in a mental home for 17 years and the scientist's roguish son investigating bizarre crimes linked to the "fringe" of modern science, some of which were linked to the scientist's own discoveries. Or at least, that's the set up in season 1. It appears to have gotten very complicated by season 3... I'm enjoying my season 1 marathon anyway. I'll rent season 2 next week if it's in. There's a few shows I may rent actually. Cheaper than buying the buggers!
