Dr. Reid, the crazy smart eidetic doctor from T.V.’s Criminal Minds is very similar to Stieg Larson’s Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Both socially awkward and terribly misunderstood characters struggle to blend into normal society while being highly intelligent. Dr. Reid is an eidetic criminal profiler whose job is to get inside the minds of some of the most terrifying killers in order to track and apprehend them. While Salander is an orphaned psychopath she is very technologically skilled and uses her hacking abilities to build profiles. While their skills, lifestyles and jobs are different their socially uncomfortable, and sharp minds allow them to be to in their fields.
