Engrossing, with a Few Exceptions
If one watches the first episode, I guess you are hooked on the whole thing. Agree with previous posters that the wife was poorly written; but I also think that the female coppers were over-the-top, as well. Sad sacks, all of them. That may have been the point. Made the story more about unrequited love than detective work. Too much time spent on Jackson after he was released. It was gratuitous and soppy.
Probably wouldn't watch it twice; but good summer diversion.
