There are so many clichés in this series that its main value might be as a drinking game: hooker with a heart of gold (have a drink), professional conduct hearing as a means to derail the investigation (have another drink), bickering detectives who are actually hot for each other (drink), person killed because he/she is wearing another person's clothing (drink), staged press conference to bring out the killer (drink), vital information leaked to the press due to pillow talk (drink), etc. I am not mentioning the clichés that give away major plot points (and there are many more), but you get the idea. It really is as if the writers intentionally tried in insert as many overused police procedural tropes as they could into one script.
The problem is that the acting is uniformly excellent. I cannot single out one performance because from the leads to the smallest part, the acting is top notch. It really is a shame that the actors did not have a better script with which to work.
