Not for me but might be great for others
There's nothing excessively bad about the series but eight episodes in, and it's still quite bland for me personally. This sort of reminds me of CSI Miami where everything is overly exaggerated and everyone is too cool for the show. This type of show may have worked better a decade ago before an overabundance of true crime shows surfaced.
-- The crimes beneath the overarching main conspiracy crime are somewhat decent but they also spoon-feed you the clues from the overacting, music, etc.
-- The few actions scenes so far were done well on its own but it doesn't fit the characters. The two mains are supposed to be a standard seasoned cop and a wealthy kid but their fighting skills are apparently on the level of 007.
-- The main MLs also really don't have much chemistry with one another and their relationship feels forced and awkward (even when you don't take into account how they met when one was just a kid).
Overall, it's one of those shows that I wouldn't have a problem with continuing but there's really nothing intriguing enough. My taste in crime series also lean heavy toward more realism. I think if they actually made this more futuristic/sci-fi (almost nothing is " sci-fi-esque" per the description other than the existence of apaths) and significantly picked up the pacing, it would have been a much easier watch.
