I wish there were 20+ seasons of Cardinal, like Law and Order. While I looked away from the torture scenes, everything else was perfect. Superbly acted, no car chases or overt sexuality. Just a well developed story line with two well matched cops solving intricate puzzles. If they pivot away from the torture, they could have interesting content for many more seasons. It’s that good. Finally, I liked the review saying it would be nice to have an older female police officer as the lead, but they could accomplish that by letting viewers age along with this talented actress.
