I love their channel and all of their videos, and I think they're generally pretty balanced, but I get the impression there's some pseudoscience and somewhat uncritical acceptance of certain police techniques in some parts of some videos, and also some inferring of people's internal mental states based on assumptions and confirmation bias. For example, while I do think the Parkland shooter was almost certainly heavily malingering - to the point of it being absurdly blatant - every single thing he did was interpreted and explained in the context of malingering. It's very possible those interpretations were all correct, but I feel like there was high confidence in all of the psychological explanations despite the confidence not always being warranted to such a high degree. And I've seen similar high-confidence explanations about other people's psychologies and intentions at any given moment. This is kind of a mirror of the Reid technique in general: >For example, Reid believed that "tells" such as fidgeting was a sign of lying, and more generally believed that trained police interrogators could intuitively check lies merely by how they were delivered. Later studies have shown no useful correlation between any sort of body movements such as breaking eye contact or fidgeting and truth-telling. While police can be effective at cracking lies, it is via gathering contradicting evidence; police officers have shown to be no better than average people at detecting lies merely from their delivery in studies. In the videos, we know the suspects are guilty and lying, so it's easy to associate certain behavior with deception. And some do appear to genuinely just be terrible liars. But without the advantage of hindsight knowledge, it's easy to feel confident you see similar behavior in other people and extrapolate that they're lying without actually having any substantiated evidence that you're right or not.
