Get Past the First Episodes and it's Good
19 September 2023
I started to stop watching before the first couple of episodes were over but decided to stick it out. I ended up with a smile on my face by the time it was over. Yes, a few characters are way over the top especially the detective from out of town and the commissioner of police as well, but this was more a dramedy rather than a drama and the comedy element was the other over the top thing going on here. And yes, the language was way worse that probably any movie or show I've ever seen. But when it was funny I was laughing-a lot. The drama element is what kept me watching as it was a really unique take on a serial killer story even if the revealed murderer was even further over the top. By then I had been fully invested in the whodunnit part and although the character had crossed my mind once or twice, I was totally in the dark at the end. The quirkiness of the characters reminded me a bit of Twin Peaks. And by the way, those of you who hated the detective and quit watching should have stuck around a bit longer. I really disliked her but she ended up being one of the better characters. If there's a second season, I'll be watching.
