One and a half season later: So much better than what I anticipated
31 October 2019 | by arnab-18513 – See all my reviews

This have a shadow of END OF WATCH & a pinch of ROOKIE BLUE to it. Intense yet sensitive when it needs to. If made right it should be a solid five season series. Compared to this castle was just a melodrama to say the least.
