This is a like it or not series. I enjoyed it, but it was lame after episode 5 and seamed to just go through the numbers in closing out the murder case the story centred on. It's worth watching, but don't expect a stellar crime drama, it is a bit of a trudge and doesn't go where you might expect. It is big on human failings and life struggle. I believe the script involved to many stories lines that distracted from main plot.
