Can we have a moratorium on idiot cops?
12 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Plus no more of killers going after friends and family of cops. It's a tired cliche. And when you find out the killer knows about your friends and family, why don't they have 24 hour police protection? And if you're running into a hotel to catch a killer, bring more people. And when you know how the killer subdues their victims, why would you fall for it? And where are your comrades when chasing the perp? They were right behind you. Did they decide that the hero cop could catch the bad guy on their own? It's cliched writing. Do better.

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS . . . . . . . . . The killer reveal? WTF was that? I had my suspicions early on, but figured that was too easy and preposterous for them to go that way. But they did, and the cops acted even more idiotic than before. They stay at headquarters, on the phone, while two plain clothes attempt to enter the house? They're looking for a serial killer, and that didn't send the french version of S.W.A.T. in as backup? The two plain clothes cops are so incompetent at their job, that they get taken out by the crazy person? Which is another thing; the crazy person was in the lives of our hero and his wife for at least 5 years, and not once did this person act weird with them? Then on a dime they become a grinning, wide eyed, nut bag? That's not how insanity works (but it IS how lazy writing works).

I was liking the show up until the last few episodes when the stupid just kept piling up.
