Painful to watch, if you actually like thrillers.
After painfully going through 2.5 of it's episodes, I'm finally giving up. This show is just not sitting with me right. Its story is actually really loose. Random guy whose parents were brutally killed when he was just a kid, mind you he almost got his brother killed. Now, he becomes a drunk, angry and emotionally unstable but worry not he's also a cool detective who keeps getting big cases even though, he goes to crime scenes while being drunk and tells conspiracy theories to the media. He can't let go of his grudges too. All other characters sounds loose to me. Policemen are just having fun and making jokes at their job when there's a serial killer on the loose. They keep pushing comedy in it even though it's supposed to be a thriller?I recently watched Mindhunters and this show act likes they're doing something by keep mentioning western serial killers but hardly doing any research on it. Instead, they just made some random pseudo science bullcrap about it being in genes. Even though, it mostly depends on the childhood environment of the person.

A slo-burn worth investing your time into.
This is one of those shows which seems slow in the beginning but you go through the first 2-3 episodes, it finally picks up the pace and you realise that the show is really about the depth and emotions of different people which are being explored only after their deaths after this person who's supposed to having difficulty understanding social and emotional cues so it's an irony in itself. How this guy can understand people better than the people around the decreased.All the major characters including the main character, his uncle and his neighbour. All of them have shown growth throughout the series. The first grew out of his inability to understand emotions (which doesn't sound scientifically accurate though), the second outgrew his past after learning the truth and moved on from being regretful to accepting. The third one become a confident, protective and more expressive towards his friend cum love interest.
