Terrible but also good???


I thought I was losing my mind with the poor sound quality. Also the three female cops accent was atrocious. I could barely understand her mumbling. Lead looks like z douchebag IRL. Yet I kept watching. Am I a glutton for punishment???🤣🤣

No dichotomy. Just terrible. Disjointed, self-absorbed, boring and smugly visually stylish. Not watching season 2. Regret having slogged through season 1.

Netflix series: a step up from The CW. One step.

I couldn't make it through season 1. First time that's happened in a long, long time. Terrible.

I really enjoyed it. Had to watch with subtitles, though. Sound quality and mumbling made that mandatory. It has some narrative problems but it worked. A few of the episodes are so good that they make the whole show worth it.
Sadly I agree with other here that the last episode is pretty bad. Serious let-down
Would definitely watch season 2.
