I think with a bit more refine this could have been up there in the genre. There's some decent acting and technical aspects-a mostly good script and plotting. It's certainly not a bad watch, overall. But I wouldn't recommend it to people wanting to get into the genre either.
As short as each episode is, it feels artificially long because they do bite sized reveals each episode, only some of which are substantive. The B plots are more well handled than the A plot, mostly because of some huge requirements for suspending disbelief surrounding the parents and the twin girls. Then the writing doesn't feel well handled later again because a guy shoots one person; two people die, but when conferring with his lawyer, it's stated he shot two people. One of whom was killed when he was not even present. A completely different person shot the other guy. How... did this get by the crew? Then the final reveal is fairly predictable, and maybe less interesting than other theories.
However, the character arc for both mains I thought was fantastic and really propelled the story when some hiccups happened. I really, really like the outcome for the local female brigadier. It looked like it was going to get tropey but it was actually excellent.
All in all, mixed bag. Probably worth watching just for the character arcs though, especially if there's to be a second season.
