The female characters have zero depth to them whatsoever even the main characters love interest the doctor comes across as flat. They failed to pass the bechdel test insofar as I have seen and honestly it shows a pervasive misogyny throughout the series in the treatment of female characters by every male character that has interactions with the opposite sex. The Detective is a bit of a player seen with a new woman almost every show and hitting on his direct subordinates (totally unacceptable behavior and a blatant abuse of power) The ex comes across as annoying and frankly appears to have some major issues (Barbiturate dependence, easily excitable, and a domineering figure to their son) the concept in and of itself is quite interesting however they failed to produce anything new and exciting it almost feels a little formulaic. However to their credit I think the camerawork on this show is quite good with decent CGI in the form of smoke like outlines of what "The Sniffer" is smelling and the relationship between him and the detective is at times fun to watch in their chummy rivalry.
