Not good but not awful

People anything dubbed is going to be trash, do yourself a favor and learn to read. With that said the subtitles are trash. I like to watch media not in my 1st language in their original language first then when I feel I'm missing something because the acting is not adding up with what's being "said" (written). I'll go back hear it dubbed, with the subtitles, and see what's what. 98% of the time the subtitles are I'll translated. Which is unfortunate because one would think if the voiceover actors have the script in English then surely all they have to do is write that script as the subtitles. Not hire another company to misinterpret the original script.

Anyhow the show itself has its moments. In my opinion it's good because it kept me wanting to know. But what gets a bit distracting is how they wrote the main character. At work she appears to be the only competent detective (everyone comes off a jaded incompetent lazy pigs) yet in her "personal life" she makes a lot of rookie mistakes. *spoiler* she turns her back on her active kid a lot leaving her vulnerable to her work life. She's reckless and hot headed where it really isn't called for. *spoiler over*

Overall from all the polish movies and shows I've seen this one definitely has potential to be great. Maybe if they do a second part they can get different writers for her role. And make the other detectives less incompetent and lazy to work.
