If you're about to get stuck into this you should know this is a total change of pace and tone to your standard murder/investigation drama
The focus solely on the machinery of the investigation means you see only the police point of view - along with all its intrigue, detail and (at times) monotony.
The choice to go this route gives you a very different experience as a viewer. On the whole I enjoyed the change.
If you like interviews with the accused or more the feeling of a great hunt/chase to find the killer this show may not be for you.
The burden of proof seemed ridiculously high at points - with the main prosecutor playing devils advocate throughout there were times where it felt supremely annoying. Especially in the face of (what I thought was) damning evidence. Those exchanges felt manufactured colour by numbers lazy storytelling. Other than that I enyjoyed it
