After choir practice, a young woman is riding her bike through a park. Suddenly, she is knocked off the bike by a car. As she struggles to get up, the driver stabs her, and she dies. Once you meet the family of the young girl, you will likely solve the murder. There is a secondary plot concerning the reconciliation of a father with his gay daughter. More or less, the story seems more concerned with acceptance of gay children then providing a solid mystery.

I recommend this show in spite of a million criticisms. Let me have fun with the criticisms, then I'll hit you with why you should watch it.
There is a style of TV show that I call "boob forward". This means that, anytime the female lead enters the frame, it's boobs first and boobs emphasized. Our lead here is supposed to be smart, I imagine, and does her best to solve the murder, but it's tight sweaters, fast cars and her gun tucked unsubtly in her belt, very much in the style of commercial US TV.
The story, supporting characters and locations are fine. In general, I am enjoying this series.
The plus? Despite improbable last-minute resolutions and a hallmark-style ending, the acting of the male co-star, Nicolas Marié, is so good and so understated that he made all the other issues pale. I came away annoyed, yes, but grateful that I experienced this performance.
I watched this show on a streaming service called Hoopla which shows many of the MhZ network shows. It is a service you get through your public library and watch on a Roku or on your computer. Ask at your library if they have the service. Another fantastic show I watched on Hoopla was Captain Marleau. Please ignore the goofy art they put on the show title!
