I've been watching the first episode (of just five?) and nothing struck me more than how similar this is to the now-cancelled TV show: "Castle".
I know the single parent with daughter rôle has been switched over from the consultant to the police detective and that some might argue that the cocky consultant is a modern day TV trope but I'd never make the comparison with, say, "The Mentalist".
In a way, it's a shame that they don't make more "Gourmet Detective" TV movies. They might appeal to pre shark jumping/cancellation Castle fans...
