Seems practically everyone in this series has issues. Series mostly drags, but not as bad as others. Usual romance subplots, eating, drinking & family issues. A bit unrealistic in that in real life most people are boringly normal w/just everyday shopping level issues. I suppose if the characters in these crime series were accurately portrayed nobody would watch. The usual police/detectives have personal and/or family problems except in this series it's a bit more extreme. The usual interdepartmental friction. Forensics slightly better than usual. We actually get crime scene yellow boundary tape & gloves & a medical examiner, but all just briefly. Lots of misdirection which is the primary hook in most crime series. The usual least expected quickly confesses at the end.
