About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded, character-driven crime drama where cases can stay messy and moral lines blur, similar in spirit to Due South or Burden of Truth; Not for you if you need fast pacing and tidy wrap-ups.

Pros: gritty realistic cases; flawed relatable lead; thoughtful social issues | Cons: slow deliberate pacing; mumbled hard-to-follow dialogue; not neatly resolved
