    seriously ?

    There is not one competent person on the major crime squad including their micro-managing leader ... is this series going any further with crappy writing like this ... it seems everyone involved with production is getting to insert their not so valuable inputs ... also, the parents are a major pain

    Epiphanies

    I love the show and I love the way Brenda gets those epiphanies or enlightenments, whatever they're called. The writers are very entertaining. I like the group of actors and their witty personalities. They blend very well! Enough said, I miss this show.

    Details. No one is flying from USA to Antwerp

    I love the show, but living in Belgium I couldn't help being distracted by this episode hanging on flights to Antwerp. While Antwerp has an airport, it is not one that would have flights to or from the USA and is mainly for small aircraft and a few charters. Antwerp is the diamond capital, but they would be flying via Brussels-Zaventem.

    The organised chaos that follows this show is intoxicating. I suppose the show is best called a dramedy as the situations are too bizarre to realistically happen. G. W. Bailey is brilliant and what makes it work is how he respects her from early on, despite his age. I really wonder if there are detectives like her out there.
