    Liking the series but they didn't do their homework
    I like the Deer Hunter and Mare of Easttown vibe and I enjoy Jeff Daniels but I'm bugged by a glaring factual error: They have the Fayette County sheriff's department investigating the murder. County sheriffs in Pa. Do not investigate crimes. The township police would likely get help from the state police but the sheriff's office would not be involved.
