American cop procedural focus on the glitz action bombast. That's why I usually prefer Brit cop shows for interesting plots. They understate the gore but often have too intricate plots that risk losing the audience without periodic explanations. Not a capital crime but annoying. This one has 1) detectives following emotional hunches and leads instead of procedure, 2) shoddy interview techniques including badgering and leading the interviewees, 3) acting surprised or indignant when the slick defense attorney calls them on it. There are few Aha! Moments for the viewer because we're kept current at every step. No denouement near the end to clear things up.
