About

If you enjoyed Life on Mars, you’ll likely have fun with this bigger, bolder spin on the same time-shifted cop setup, mixing laughs, danger, and 80s nostalgia; Not for you if you want a wholly original premise or a consistently serious tone.

Pros: sharp banter; fun 80s vibe; gripping cases | Cons: familiar premise; uneven pacing; lead can grate
