The first couple of episodes seemed clunky and full of exposition, as first episodes often are. But now it's finding its feet and going in a good direction as the plots are becoming more intriguing and the characters are fleshing out. Sure there have been a number of super-smart and pompous lead characters (Sherlock, House, Lucifer), but Dylan is a nice guy who cares about other people, who quit the CIA for love. In fact, there is a lack of vindictive snark but there is snappy dialogue. Kind of refreshing. Also refreshing to see a marriage that is a happy one as well as a cop partnership that ISN'T a will-they-won't they kiss thing (which is getting a bit tiring). Dylan gives psychological assessments along the way - giving the show a different lean - and I find the relationships between the main characters are believable (in the context of an obviously contrived show, let's face it). The plots are getting stronger, the dynamics are smoother. It reminds me of a more pleasant Hannibal, with the psychologist helping the police - and both shows have some pretty good clothes! It was worth sticking with the show, and I'm looking forward to another season to see it really grow.
