The first episode was fine and then it went downhill from there. The main character's suppose to be an investigator but she relies on cops to do all here legwork. When she's not sleeping with the other character's on the show she's dispersing bad advise and getting beat up. Very derivative...like most detective shows like The Rockford files without the humor and interesting characters. The fact that she is a woman with a military history (see derivative) does not invoke interest. Why is she not competent? A frivolous show with frivolous characters. Can someone make a PI show where the PI does not have some dark secrets that affects their every day life? A assume that there are such people.

Ok.. I'll just start on some technical issues. These runners have the worst form that I have every seen. Flailing elbows and legs...had the directors ever actually watched an athletic event? This was very disconcerting and it is the typical thing that spoils most sports movies. But then again this is not a sports movie. It is really about a stupid sod who thumbs his nose at the "establishment" to prove a point...the point being that he enjoys and will continue to be a loser for the rest of his life. This was an opportunity to break the shackles of poverty instead of embrace them. Good job...you got what you wanted.

The home-life and biographical elements of the film were quite good and should have insentivized the main character. Instead they did the opposite.

Disappointing conclusion plot-wise and sport-wise..

I have been hearing about this show for over a year as the creator has a podcast. I was looking forward to it. It has style...I will give the show that but there are NO likable characters and the plot is incoherent. The "hero" of the piece really does nothing. She just visits people and occasionally they just end up dead. I could care less about any of the characters other than the occasional zoo animal showing up. I have now watched 7 episodes and will continue to do so because I enjoy listening to Andy on his podcast but I am totally not engaged with the plot. The political plot is just uninteresting, incomprehensible and the characters are cliche..

Maybe they could have done this is 5/6 episodes with fewer characters and fewer static shots of inanimate objects. Trying to be "cool" doesn't always produce a great show. I read the novel over 20 years/maybe 30 years ago and remember it being a crisp read.

Andy...I can't see this being renewed.
