The story is a typical mystery. That is entertaining however, I'm not really sure these reviews are presented in a fair and honest way. I just wrote a review that was very unfavorable, calling out the lead woman and the cop, a woman, and complaining about their characters, and my dislike for their actions, and I was also talking negatively about the writers, and it did not show my review for everybody to see, so I am rewriting this. It's kind of simple though. It's a good show, but the lead female character is just so awful. Her character basically acts like a five-year-old, which is kind of hard to reconcile, considering she's supposed to be like super hard. And the female detective every time she opens her mouth just hate everything about her. I don't know if this is intentional by the writers, but between those two female roles, I am having a hard time continuing, watching the show, even though I find it entertaining enough. If I change my rating from a six initially rated it as, that means that I could not get past those two performances, and how to do it abandon the show as a form of entertainment without finishing it.

I forgot just how truly awful this show was, and by awful I mean hilarious. All of the characters are terrible, despicable people and just sooo friggin funny. Pretty sure Elliot is my favorite. Jon Early steals the show every time he opens his mouth. I've seen him in other things he's he's usual gives a solid entertaining performance but this role has to have been written for him bc he's so funny in it and he manages to squeeze every bit of juice out of the orange that is his part. Like I said before every time he opens his mouth it's pretty hilarious... come to think of it even when he's no talking, he still manages to significantly entertain with his gestures and facial expressions. But I got off my main subject here which was Louie Anderson. When he's cross examining in the court room and gets the Greek guy's name wrong every time he says it, I have laughed pretty hard throughout watching and re-watching this entire series but Louie doing his thing made me remember just how funny of a comic Louis Anderson was/is. The reason I got off topic and started talking about Elliot was because throughout the series, he steals the show, but in this particular episode, Louie Anderson, messing up that Greek guys name and just his overall performance, I felt he stole the show this episode.

I must have read 15-20 reviews before I stopped. People that liked it said it was brilliant and lauded it with words of that nature clearly showing that they stand on the left because this was absolutely NOT brilliant. It was mildly entertaining but rating or ranking it as anything other then simply passable is not a reflection of the quality of entertainment that came out of this. It was good enough to watch all the way through, which does mean it wasn't terrible. Then you have the people that rated it at the bottom of the barrel. Now unlike the people on the left, these people seemed to be very up front about their political stances because their reasoning for rating it so low was because they felt that this was a completely inaccurate and unfair characterization of the Republican Party which could only have been done by the lett. I found their reasoning, more entertaining than I did the show at times, considering, this is a work of FICTION that is meant to be comedically entertaining and not somebody's political manifesto. I guess the reviews unfortunately seem to accurately reflect the culture of our society at the moment, which is really quite sad because we seem to be at a place where NOBODY can take a joke anymore and even less people have a SENSE OF HUMOR. Which I find quite ironic, considering if you look at it, the political arena that we are currently living with, the reality of what's going on there, the people who are inhabiting it, their specific actions, stances, and ways of representing and articulating themselves, then you shouldn't be able to help but to be comedically entertained by those REALITIES.
