Watching the first episode of crime procedural Will Trent awakened memories of Millennium, that brief candle of a Chris Carter mystery/procedural in which Lance Henriksen's Frank Black was able to "see" crime scenes through the eyes of killers.

In Will Trent, based on Karin Slaughter's bestselling novels, our titular hero (Iron Fist's Ramon Rodriguez, walking a tightrope between stubble-scruffy and dapper) sees things from the victim's perspective.
