I like to think that they managed to elevator pitch this show and the execs at Lifetime had no idea what they were actually funding. There's got to be a reason they were dropped after one season.

Will give credit to the lead actor on being very vocally against people liking his character too. The show always kinda read to me like satire of the modern obsession with True Crime. Something that very quickly devolved as the satire went over people heads and they got horny for Joe.
