I don't know if it's changed that much. A lot of
it has to do with the motivation - the "criminal's
intent" - and how Goren tries to get inside
their head and turn their intent and pathology
against them. That was established in the first
episode and that's still certainly the M.O. of the show.
We still spend as much time with the criminals
now as we did back in the first season. I think
what has changed is how much attention
Vincent's portrayal of Robert Goren has received.
It's kinda of taken a life of its own. It wasn't
necessarily my intention, and it certainly wasn't
Dick Wolf's intention to create a single lead show,
but that's pretty much what it's turned into.
