This is a super slow burn with a long path down a very dark tone/theme about trauma. It's not the original and they shouldn't have used the title honestly, because this shouldn't be compared to it - because it's completely different!
The plot and writing isn't really the reason to watch this, it's the acting between the 2 primary leads. If I taught acting I would make my students watch this. Most folks don't realize that some films have a skeleton (bare bones) plot and it's truly a device for 2 lead female actors to hit homeruns so you can just enjoy that.
The plot has been done before, but to me I really just liked to watch 2 insanely talented actors go back and forth. Most folks focus on how engaging the plot and writing are, but forget about the acting component. That's why this is a 6/10. Focus on the acting guys...and enjoy!

This movie actually had some good acting from the lead lady Lark. She's got a bright future ahead of her! Besides that though, I feel like this was filmed in pieces and they hoped they could tie together a story, but it really ends up being a long mess.
The plot is pretty simple, bad guy...evil guy who they discover is a murderer (happens very early on), but even that part is confusing. There's just too many random scenes and things that happen that ruin the continuity, although you can basically understand what's going on. It's entertaining though for some odd reason. Like I was watching it while also laughing at some of the bad scenes. That's why it's a 5/10 and not 1. And the lark chick, she's gonna be a great actor! Already is.

This another in a long line of shows that gets destroyed by bad characters. Why the writers decided to cast Jussie Smollet as this annoying, cocky, downright selfish detective is mind boggling. I couldn't get past the second episode because her character is SOOOOOO BADDDDD.
Why do these writers force all the stereotypes and cliches onto audiences constantly? This show could have been great if the audience had a shred of empathy for this annoying selfish brat of a detective.
Also the tone of the show is crap too. The narration of the other guy is so cliche and lame. Total bust of a show 4.8/10.
