This is a strange one indeed. It's not a particularly good murder mystery, the humor usually misses (in my opinion the cops are a bit too silly to be believable, even within the context of it being a comedy), the themed episodes don't ever commit and don't add anything to the story, and overall it just lacks cohesion and ultimately makes me wonder what the point of it is. It's never particularly bad, but it just feels like some people had an idea, and then stretched this idea into an 8 episode arc that could've easily been a 90-minute movie, if that.

I give it a 6 because there are some genuinely good moments and some good jokes, but ultimately because Walt really carried the entire show at a certain point. I don't think I've ever seen an actor nail the awkward guy better than Jamie Demetriou does in this show. Without him in the cast, I would probably give this show a 4 or 5. Decent if you have nothing else to watch or if you like some of the actors, but otherwise I don't think it's really worth your time.
