The Murders

Kate Jameson (Jessica Lucas) is a rookie homicide detective following her respected late father's footsteps. Her mother is running for mayor. On her first day, she loses her gun which is used in a murder. Her corrupt partner directs her in a cover up as they track down the killer. She is conflicted morally about setting up the drug addict killer which ends up with the shoot-out deaths of both her partner and the killer. She gets away scot free but she is forever haunted by the ethically compromised start to her career.

Starting with the title, there is a blandness to this show. The Canadian production is somewhat bland. Lucas is a bit light to do a serious cop procedural. It does start with an intriguing first day for her but it's a slow downhill slide from there. There just isn't anything outstanding in this bland police procedural.
