Only one episode in but this seems like a decent watch, in a weird and wonderful way. Cops sister investigating her death in a hot Texas town with escaped zoo animals roaming the streets...yes, its one of those, on Alibi, will keep you posted.

It's on a tipping point for me

It's either going to be unmissable or week after week of kicking the can down the road.

admittedly I have only watched ep 1 but have the rest on streaming to catch up with.

Is it just me or had Rosario had just a little too much "work" done?

My feelings exactly, I just like its not the normal whodunit, although it can easily tip over too far like, say, season two from about half way through and three of Goliath!!

It was cancelled after the first series so, for me, not worth the investment in time.

Probably not the right approach to take.

Three episodes in and I'm enjoying it. Shame there will be no more

I'm now three episodes in and still feel it could go either way TBH.

It wouldn't take much for me to delete the series link

Be a boring world if we were all the same! I just like its not another ordinary formulaic show.

Found this show entirely accidentally when the TV came on on the 'Alibi' channel. Watched a few minutes, found it interesting enough to go to "catch up" and re-watch the episode from the start.

Then I watched (most of) it a third time after my wife got interested in it from my description. So we watched it all the way through.

Not going to spoil it for anyone who might still watch it, but it was great. Loved the visuals, loved the casting, loved the writing. It was "funny" but not comedy-funny. It was very dark, but out of sync with the visuals. And it twisted and turned, sending you one way and then the other. I'd love to see more of it but I can't see it getting commissioned for another series. Well worth staying with it until the end though, and I would definitely like to see more of this cast in other stuff...


...and unlike many shows that end on a cliffhanger, at least this particular story reached a conclusion with the final episode. It's so infuriating when a show is clearly angling for another season but doesn't get it, leaving you with unanswered questions forever and a day.

I've got 2 episodes to go.
It's really dragging but may as well stick with it till the end.

Resurrecting this as it's just appeared on NowTV.

Just watched Ep. 1 and liking it so far - Rosario Dawson is eminently watchable, and she produced it as well.
