Heh. I have faith that it will turn itself into a good show! I mean, 100% improved from episode one to two surely portends good things, right? And they actually appear to have hired a script supervisor, unlike some crime dramas I could name. A decent chunk of the Megan/her daughter plot this time relied on events that transpired in the first episode, and Megan and Peter even referenced the conversation they'd had last time at one point.
...Okay, so I have low standards at the moment. Still.
Dear TV: why must you insist on making us trip over these plots all the time??
Exactly! Actually, it's not that I object to plots, it's that I object to the endless parade of murder mysteries. At this point, I'm almost ready to welcome a show that's still about cops, but, like, the burglary division. Vice. Missing persons. ANYTHING ELSE. But what I would really like is a show that centers on, I don't know, a group of stage actors, or travel agents, or grad students, or something that's not a passel of cops/lawyers/doctors. Or chuck the workplace drama idea altogether and have a show centering on something else.
