I am sorry to be a dissentor.
Molina is great. That is, in my view, non negotiable. Unfortunately, no one else is in any single episode.
I am sorry to be a nay sayer, but the acting in this series is just awful and it spoils the rather nice plots.
Everyone except for Molina hands in appalling soap opera performances. What do I mean by that? In soaps, actors have to show every emotion. They "emote" everything they are thinking and feeling. In good drama, they allow us to find it. Molina is the perfect example. He suggests, he doesn't show. Such a disappointment as what should have been a delicious detective series is a badly acted, unsubtle, mediocre effort shown up by one excellent performance.
