I difficult to like a show when you don't like any of the characters but that's exactly what happened to me when I watched Black Sands. The lead character is so dumb I have to wonder how she became a detective. I don't think she could even cut it as a beat cop. She also had a habit of throwing herself at men who seemingly had no interest in her at all. Her mother was pretty much a monster and the chief of police was lazy and not very intelligent. The one person with a little bit of a brain was the doctor but he was a bit weird at times. At times I felt like I was watching a parody of a noir-type drama. At least the scenery was beautiful.
