I was hoping this wouldnt be a "crime of the week" series, but i was wrong. It had a great idea and its polished and good, for being what it is. But i was hoping for a series that wouldnt focus on weekly episodes, but rather a larger series spanning arc style, like alot of modern series started using after series like the wire, game of thrones and homeland, for example. Now we get the usual "big, interesting story arc as the background that we only get a few minutes of progression on every week, after the crime of the week is resolved". Its sad, but i guess they didnt have interesting material to flesh out the main idea for x amount of seasons. Make a miniserie next time, and spare us this format. On top of this, we get even MORE filler from the super annoying "family drama" with spouses that take up way too much time. Filler inside of filler.
If they took all the interesting bits from the main story arc, deleted all the rest and ended up with a 8-12 episode mini-series total, with a conclusion, this would have been a 9/10 series!
With that said. Its still a good watch if you like that style of tv-series. Just watch it on netflix, so you have that handy 10-second-fast-forward-button ready for clicking every time a family argument/make up-session comes on the screen! Be ready to click that button alot.
