I wasn't sure about this show when it first started because the whole idea of a cop being driven around by a random taxi driver seemed very "out there" for me, but I gave it a chance.
Now a few episodes in and I just can't get into this show because...
I could go on and on and I'm not sure why I'm still watching. I guess I keep hoping that we'll see more of Cat and less of Leo. Can't we get one episode where he goes on vacation or something and she can just rent a car? I don't know how much longer I can last and I will be very surprised if this survives for another season.
Now a few episodes in and I just can't get into this show because...
- I don't think there is any chemistry (not in a romantic way) between the leads. Every scene feels awkward.
- It annoys me to no end that Leo is always participating in her cases, like that would ever happen in real life, and seems to be the star of the show. Cat gets into situations and you want her to at least do something and here he comes to steal the spotlight. She's the cop so let her be one!
- This recent episode with her re-living a traumatic experience from her past kept me waiting for some sort of flashback or explanation as to what had happened but they never showed anything. What??? How can you expect the audience to get to know her and feel for her if you don't give us anything? She also mentions in another episode that she's been shot twice. When was that? How did that happen? Which leads me to...
- I want to know why she's always so angry. Is it her past? Is it her father's murder? What is it? Like my reason above, they're not giving us anything to go on so she's very one dimensional.
- Dialogue. Who writes this stuff?? The scene when the Italian woman comes into the station and they have a cat fight, no pun intended. Seriously?? Not only was the writing horrible but so was the acting. Cat went from passive to aggressive in the blink of an eye. Awkward.
