It's got so many detective cliches I don't know where to start. Retired detective, personal tragically, a troubled soul with all the usual detective story vibes. He just needs a hat, a dark office and a background voiceover. And the main actor's singing, oh my, it reminds me of Vogon poetry from the The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Except that it adds no value or purpose to the protagonist's character or the story line at all. But despite all that, I still found myself enjoying the show. The production quality is pretty good and there are some redeeming qualities that make it worth the watch. So if you can embrace the cliches, the depressing singing, and enjoy the highly emotional themes, maybe you'll 'kind of enjoy' it too.
