Really enjoyable with some excellent performances (the fight between Colleen and her brother was particularly painful to hear). Takes the modern approach of not only concentrating on a single investigation, but introducing a larger story arc that finishes in season 2. The characters each have a little backstory and their own situations to deal with as the case progresses, but they aren't distracting and aren't dwelled on too long as to take you out of the main crime to be solved. The solution was a bit annoying that it was a surprise guilty guy, but not all the killings can be pinned on him so we still have work to do. Some complain that there is too much sound devoted to eating, drinking, smoking and footsteps, but I don't mind those. Wish that the end credits weren't so long and weren't included in each episode since they run together and you won't listen to just one, wait and then another. ( )
