I binge watched season 1, and now catching up on season 2. So much better than Law & Order-, Criminal Minds-, or NCIS-type shows on traditional networks.

I've only watched one episode, but like what I've seen and am optimistic about the rest of the season. If you're a fan of Julianne Nicholson, she's the lead character. If you're not familiar with her work, you should be. In this series, she again plays a woman with a troubled past, a role she does extremely well.

The series in not the usual legal, police, or hospital action or drama show. There is a murder, but the focus seems to be more on the characters' lives, emotions, challenges instead of solving the crime. Don't be misled by the gay-bashing reviews. That's only one relationship, in addition to the sheriff and her doctor husband, the FBI agent, her undercover agent, and the undercover's wife, the sheriff and her deputy, ... you get the idea.

If you've enjoyed shows, as I have, like The Red Road, The Bridge, Top of the Lake, American Crime (the one with Regina King and Felicity Huffman), give this one a chance, too.
