I'm actually not sure how much I dig on this show. The visual stylings are good, the settings and tone are very gritty, I'm always down for Mcconaughey and Harrelson, and aesthetically, the show seems very well put together.
But this feels kinda of... retreadish? I mean, I can barely think of a show that really treats the subject with the same level of seriousness. All the same, I feel like this subject matter is kind of old hat, y'know? Serial Killers, Grizzled Detectives with big personal flaws, gritty realism. In the second episode Harrelson confesses to sleeping around on his wife, and I just felt bored by it , y'know? It's kind of trite, but even if I can't name a specific show, it feels very retreadish. I'm having a lot more fun with Almost Human, even if that show is goofy and camp. Although maybe that's the difference, it's been forever since I've seen a good goofy and camp cop show.
