I've watched so many of these shows. Inevitably, it's an emotionally unavailable single detective who has lost a spouse, with a daughter (it's almost always a daughter) who is aged 15-23. The daughter is always the Achilles heel for the detective. She's obstinate and oblivious to obvious danger. She's constantly saying things like "Dad, I'm not a child anymore. I can handle myself" just before she runs headlong into a situation that will put her near death. The daughter makes the detective reckless. It's his only source of vulnerability.

This structure is exhausting. Maybe once the daughter can listen to her detective parent to be appropriately cautious. Or maybe the detective can have several point of vulnerability or none at all. But the minute that the widowed/divorced detective shows up on my screen with his teen/young adult daughter, I know what I'm in for. At that point, I can accurately predict most of the storylines that will be forthcoming.

Although this show is very slow I enjoy it thoroughly. It really does give you time to get to know the characters. I really enjoy Duncan and Jimmy's relationship. Not every person would be able to handle this dynamic as well as these men do. Of course they have their ups and downs but in the end they have each others back.

I'm not a fan of Jimmy and Alice's relationship. I am surprised he would put himself in that position but I guess when the attraction is strong one loses all common sense.

I dont like this story as much as prior ones. Human trafficking is not a topic I want to have to think about. But I am watching for the wonderful characters.
