Too much backstory of the wrong kind and slow pacing hamper this new Australian PI drama but the end result is slightly better - and no worse - than anything else out there.
The inverted partnership of young offender/old lawman doesn't feel right for several episodes. I would have liked to know how someone who's been in prison for half their life knows so much about such a variety of things. I would have liked the old whipped dog cop to have some snappier wisdom.
The subplots within subplots slowed things down as did the hefty amount of backstory. I didn't need to see the old cop get arrested. I believed he was. I would have liked to know why the brass turned on him, though. There was some convenient developments but aren't there always these days?
The e-bike thing is weird. Continuity slipped a few times with the speed of her arrivals by pedal power vs. SUVs.
Overall, I did enjoy the series in spite of its flaws and look forward to the pursuit of the loose ends in season 2.
