About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want cozy, clean mystery TV with steady suspense and a warm lead; Not for you if you dislike formulaic whodunits or want darker, edgier cases like Cold Case.
Pros: charming lead; classic whodunits; clean tone | Cons: can feel formulaic; some episodes stale; overly perfect protagonist
