It reminds me of a blue skies era USA show. I miss those, so I'm loving it so far. I also find it amusing how she's trying to get out of there before the cops show up but also set it up so there is available evidence and so on for the person to not get out of trouble.

My only wish is that, like all of these shows, that they would take on other types of crime than murder. If I were her and people were dropping like flies everywhere I went, I'd start to think I was a death omen of some sort. Taking down the gambler running his own games was a fun plot in the pilot but that got put aside for the central murder mystery.

Also, the Sucker Punch song has been stuck in my head for days since watching episode 4.

I watched the whole run when it aired originally and I'm actually also a few seasons into a rewatch now. I can see a few things hitting people the wrong way, such as:

  • When >!Zach!< turned out to be an apprentice of >!Gormagon!< but then they walked it back but not in a way that allowed him to return.
  • The whole >!Gormagon!< plot entirely, for that matter
  • When they killed off >!Sweets!<
  • When they killed off >!Vincent Nigel Murray!<
  • The whole >!Pelant!< plot
  • The problematic treatment of >!Dr. Haru Tanaka!< who was >!androgynous!< getting turned into a guessing game/joke
  • The hallucination/dream sequence/alternate reality episodes
  • Several episodes wouldn't have had much plot if they followed basic procedures they used to regularly call out early on, like using proper PPE for what they're doing.

Probably more I'm forgetting
