The lead investigator's role was totally unbelievable!
He's supposed to be the prototypical divorced, burnout alcoholic cop whose career accolades are the only reason he hasn't been fired or forced into retirement. Except....this dude's like 12 years old! He doesn't look like a grizzled veteran! Not his baby face, his attire, his squinting eyes, or his flat expressions....none of it suggested that he is drunk & sleep-deprived. Homeboy just looked like he has allergies!!
Besides the poor casting, another head-scratcher was all the damn running! This guy would roll up on every scene jogging, but never got sweaty or out of breath. In one scene, Detective Gump arrives (via his police cruiser) at the home of a key witness, presumably at least 1 hour after she left the scene....but he still ran around looking for her. Literally...he ran. And then ran some more from Location to location like a bloodhound finding a scent.
What was wrong with his car? Are there no taxis or other cruisers available??
I just couldn't take the show seriously after seeing him do it nearly 20 times in the first two episodes.
