The first episode goes off with a bang.
Allegra Dill (Rosario Dawson) returns to her hometown of San Bonifacio after the death of her estranged sister Felicity. She who was a cop and a landlady, her car blew up.
The town seems crooked and someone in it hates cops. Allegra is the beneficiary of a large life insurance policy of her late sister. Allegra suspects something is not right as she searches for Felicity's killer.
Why did Felicity have such a large policy for her relatively modest police salary. Felicity's apartment was not the type she would live in.
This is a noirish first episode. The influences range from David Lynch, especially with the casting of the police chief and the animals escaping from the zoo. There are also hints of the Coen Brothers and Quentin Tarantino.
However this is also a slow burn opener. It wants to establish mood and works too hard to be off beat.
