When I first heard about this I assumed it would recast the novels. Wrong! Slaughter's stories are dark and complex. The show is pure "light cop" (think Castle) and has every cliche - serial killers, redneck Nazis, retired jock with night club, body falling out of window, witness shot after revealing truth, cop kills partner and blames a black guy, blah blah
Will's flickering accent and looks (the "real" Will is tall, muscular, blond) disappoint. Amanda and Faith are now black (Faith steals the show), Sarah is missing and Angie is not the Angie in the novels. A non-binary character takes care of Will's dog - tokenism at its best (or worst). My grade - 3/10.
