Meredith Jacobs is the Managing Editor for TV Insider. If it’s on TV, chances are she watches it. It started from a young age with ER and The X-Files. She's enjoyed getting into the minds of serial killers since Criminal Minds, so it should be no surprise that she loved Prodigal Son. Add in angels and demons (Good Omens), first responders (9-1-1) and doctors (The Pitt), mysteries (Broadchurch), a Time Lord (Doctor Who), and an iconic sleuth (Sherlock), and you get a good sense of who she is as a TV fan.
