This series started off strong and then went off the rails. Seasons 1 & 2 were decent...engaging storylines, beautiful scenery and good character development. The short form storytelling also worked much better than the long drawn out arcs in the later seasons. By season 3, the series began getting weird, especially with the Branch Connelly character.
By season 4, everything changed, the characters became unbearable! Walt became a righteous, obsessive, conspiracy nut who was more of a criminal than the actual criminals. Vic became an annoying, love lorn loon and idiot. Ferg became a jealous simpleton. Henry became a cyborg, talking in oddly broken english. The plot and writing became ridiculous. So much crime and corruption for a small town to only have a police force of 3 stooges, they literally created their own problems and escalated every situation.
Also, the cell phone issue drove me insane.
And...the "will they or won't they" was beyond cringey. This was supposed to be a police drama, not some 80's rom-com.
