6/10
A mixed bag

Warning: Spoilers
I think some of the actors were really fun. Especially the main actress and her boss who had great chemistry, and also the actress who played her mother with her group of friends. I think most of the scenes involving them were entertaining to watch.

What I found weird is that 90% of the show is played as a straight up comedy (without actually being that funny tbh) where even the mob bad guys are also simply there for comedy relief. But the scenes with the abductor were pretty brutal with him seemingly raping and hitting women with steel pipes.

It would be like watching Friends, and suddenly scenes of Law and Order got mixed into the episode. I mean, it was original. But I am not entirely sure it worked.

Story wise some characters have to act incredibly stupid for the story to not have wrapped up half way through. This show has probably the most incompetent police I have ever seen in any tv show, and the heroine could have ended the abducter's crime spree after 5 episodes. We never did get any good explanation as to why she just lets him go after beating him up a bit.

This also contributed to the series losing some of it's steam in the later half of it, as it felt it was just going through the motions in order to reach 16 episodes.

This show also has some of the most blatant product placement I have seen. I wouldn't even call it product 'placement' anymore, as it's more smack dab in your face. It's there in almost every episode. Not a big minus, but it's a bit annoying.

It's still a mostly fun show with some entertaining characters which drags a bit at the end. Perfectly ok.
