I’ve noticed many viewers are fixated on how unbelievable the show is, particularly regarding Niecy Nash’s standout performance, which has faced criticism for her being a raging alcoholic and not being removed from the case. Then there’s the nun assisting in the investigation—elements that feel very much in line with Ryan Murphy’s signature style. If you’ve seen any of Murphy’s productions, especially "American Horror Story," you know that he often leans into the bizarre and the grotesque. His shows frequently feature outlandish scenarios that leave you saying, “What just happened?” Personally, I appreciate this distinctive approach, as seen in earlier works like "Nip/Tuck" and "AHS." Given that it’s a Ryan Murphy creation, I anticipated something more eccentric than a straightforward crime drama, and that’s exactly what I received. However, I understand why some viewers might be disappointed if they expected a serious and realistic narrative. One aspect that confounds me is the storyline involving the protagonist's daughter and her desire to join a television show for individuals dealing with obesity; it’s certainly a peculiar plot twist. But again, this is Ryan Murphy we’re talking about—embracing the oddities is part of the experience. If you enjoy "American Horror Story," I think you'll find value in this show. Just be aware: if you’re looking for a conventional cop drama, you might be let down.
