I've tried twice to watch this show. The first time I thought it was slow and boring and didn't get through the first episode. The second time I made it past way through episode 3. It might've been a good series since the acting isn't bad but holy cow man, just about every scene has something that is so ridiculous and stupid that it makes the show unwatchable.
There is nothing believable about Laurene being a cop, nothing. I lost count of how many times she went wandering around in the forest at night or did something that made you go, "hey, that's not how cops handle things."
I thought the scene where she walks in her daughter's room with her gun on her was odd considering the cops who I know don't walk around their homes carrying their guns.
There are times when she doesn't keep her gun on her. For example, she has the baby kidnapper at gun point outside his hideout cabin, but as she backs into the cabin, not concerned anyone else might be in there too, she then sets her gun down on a table upon spotting the baby. Whaaat? She picks the baby up and fortunately for her and the baby, her suspect keeps himself on the ground. No handcuffs and of course no back up and the gun just sitting on the table. I guess it's a maternal moment for her and not her baby.
I was kind of done at that point but officially done when the scene where her partner is wrestling the guy who's losing it about a girlfriend who he can't find any evidence of and she just stands there and watches. Her partner even said, "you going help at all?" To which she replies as if he's just asked her the stupidest question of all time, "what should I do?" Then she continues just standing there watching. Is she watching the show with us the viewers or what?
If the incompetent officers don't annoy the heck out of you then the slow pacing and gloomy scenery will depress you. If you do watch then I recommend 1.5xs the speed.
