No F bombs, no porn nor explicit intimacy--or any intimacy (euphemism) at all. GREAT! That junk never adds to the plot and it takes no writing skills at all. Maybe trying to be edgy? It's tacky and boring. It's used as filler instead of good writing and story development. Big plus is I can watch it with any family member--nieces, nephews, mom, church ladies.
Marcia Gay Hardin is excellent as always--a joy to watch. Skylar Astin is a great fit for enthusiastic PI son who lost his license in a misstep and now working his way back thanks to Mom. Although there is comedy in the relationship, I find it believable. Skylar's sister is strangely mesmerizing. So dead pan, so cynical--looks a bit menacing. I look forward to each appearance even though she looks like she belongs in a horror pic with her dour demeanor. But she's not a bad guy and doesn't come off as one. It's not slapstick as we know, and gags aren't exaggerated to make sure we get it. Also, not clownish.
The focus is on the crime and solving, which is where it belongs, and is as good as any crime show.
5 episodes in and it's a winner for me. I pray it doesn't get political, social justice warped, or riddled with personal dramas. Those are show poison to us.
