Cookie cutter police procedural with all ticked boxes and cliched tropes
I wonder if all of these writers attend the same schools and seminars when it comes to creating these shows.
Though the lead actress is doing a wonderful job, this show is full of cliched parts and well worn out storytelling tropes:
-lead character puts all into the job while family falls apart, Check;
-precocious, teen daughter, supposedly smart, doing stupid things, gets in over her head, Check;
-mentally disabled red herring character, Check;
-compromised investigator, Check;
-female-driven to prove herself, Check;
-angry character-driven to vigilantism, Check;
-cell phone calls at all the worse times, Check;
