I think what really makes this show is Liu and Miller and how on-point they are. I love the chemistry between them. I find myself shipping the two, even though I absolutely detest the idea of having John become Joan just so that there can be sexual tension between the two. It's a bit confusing. But anyway, they're what keeps me intrigued.

I understand that the cases can't be as complex or intricate (or even similar) to those shown in BBC's Sherlock, and that they must all resolve by the end of the hour's time, but I feel as if the cases are too dumbed down and obvious. As if an American audience wouldn't understand. I'm not saying I knew that the cellphone was in the rice, or that the woman had her doctor fake her coma, but there were so many hints that it wasn't as fun. The show is also less intense than BBC's Sherlock (sorry for all the comparisons...). I don't know, I'm not impressed with the show so far, but I like what I see between Liu and Miller so I'll definitely keep watching.

Even though I don't like that they're "together" at all haha.
