Title: Pointlessly meandering and hopelessly contrived situations
Review: I love well-written television. This is not it. Even though murder investigations are not all likely to proceed in orderly fashion, the writers here create freakishly complex meanderings and blind alleys that feel hopelessly contrived. This show attempts to portray a gritty ultra-realism, which is appreciated, but when they throw in an FBI sting situation worthy of NCIS, the writing destroys the atmospheric credibility.
