Season 1, Episode 3
7/10
[6.8] No aim, purpose and happiness left
8 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Honestly speaking, the episode isn't a 2-3 nor a 9-10. Delving into characters' life is good, but not at the expense of a dismal flow lasting 60 minutes topped with bad editing contributing to almost nothing, besides highlighting the crushed characters, useless bar scenes, embarrassing "disputes" between ex-husband and wives and most importantly, a constant look of fatigue, stunned depressed state with repressed anger on the main character's face that make her totally unlikable and ruin her good acting.

I won't even start on the planted evidence, how futile and unprofessional it was, besides begging for more extended scenes, the handing over of her gun and badge and the last scene making it look like she's going to hang herself.

To some the show is deep and relatable; to me, it seems more like a character study with a mini crime investigation in the background. As such, it lacks speed, flow, minimum suspense and real action, and it's like 80 y.o. Detectives, relatives, family and friends strolling around in a camp full of retired people, already disgusted with life, with no aim, purpose and happiness left.
