I tried. I love a good mystery show, but this is not that.
The writers have zero knowledge of police work and rely on bad info about tasers. For example, if someone is pointing a weapon at your partner, don't taze them - they just tense and fire and you killed your partner. It really is that poorly done.
If you point your gun at someone, make sure your partner isn't behind them. If you fire, your gun, you're just as likely to hit your partner with a slight miss or if the bullet goes through.
Yes, this show really misses common sense points like this.
Oh, and if you're almost killed by a bunch of fantasy white supremacists and you have no way of reporting them, get away, don't ride along because poor writing is the only way you'll be saved when you jump out and threaten them.
This show is ridiculous on so many levels. And so much focus on damaged people who aren't getting mental help while in positions of trust that demand competence... Again, they focus on the pain instead of the fixing or healing.
And that doesn't even touch on the head of their unit and how poor the acting is, all the anger and inappropriate comments she makes indicating her bias. She'd be dealing with HR on a daily basis with that kind of attitude.
I tried, but this show is a hot mess fantasy. Unenjoyable. Depressing. And ignorant of how these matters work in reality.
