a thriller about the discovery of a "next step in human evolution" that resulted in genetically-distinct neo-humans "capable of unspeakable evil." It crapped out after one season because (1) it was just old-hat "Body Snatchers" bugaboo without the aliens, (2) people already knew about sociopaths, and (3) the viewers most inclined to enjoy the show were the show's own villains.
