    i've been really enjoying it, and like the creepy tone and pacing. I shoudn't have been, but I was kind of surprised that it's getting a lot of hate. It's really leaning into the supernatural, which the other seasons hinted at or left ambiguous, so I can get being put off by that, I guess. But people are also trashing it because Jody Foster plays an asshole cop, or they have a problem with Navarro. All the cops in the show in every season are kind of jerks. I guess since the main cops in this season are female a lot of people can't self-insert themselves into the "bad-ass cop who takes no shit and fucks a lot" characters and don't enjoy it as much? A lot of the complaints seem wierd and nitpicky to me.

          The first season is lightning in a bottle, but the others are good too. They all involve crime against children FYI, lots of grim stuff

          I was the same but watched it randomly at one point. It really shows how shitty cops are while still having them as the protagonist

        They always do that. A 150lb woman can't 1v1 a 200lb guy because it's not realistic. But then a 170lb guy can 1v1 a 250lb guy because of the male bone structure and skull shape and hip ratio or some other caliper-brained shit.
