Considering that I compare all shows whether they are movies or a TV series against movies such as Avalon, Quigley Down Under, Dances With Wolves or Hamlet, the Mel Gibson version, it's rather hard for a simple TV series to compare. However, imho the three critiques already listed aren't quite fair. The show so far isn't nowhere near the block buster it has been made out to be. It's nothing more than OK, depending on your tastes. Imho the main character isn't quite as tough as she needs to be to portray the character she is supposed to be. She also seems to be a bit inexperienced for the part. As far as her being a bent cop goes, uhmmm, no, not really. Nor is she playing a racist like the other critique claims she is. She is reacting no differently than anyone else would react in a similar situation. To top that off one actor doesn't beat around the bush about playing a white racist. Methinks the person writing the critique is very probably a racist himself. Dunno, don't know him but that's how his critique struck me. Anyway, for me the show was just OK. I won't go out of my way to make sure I don't miss any episodes but if it's on, I might watch it again. I do know if it doesn't improve I definitely won't be watching it again which isn't saying much actually. I get more enjoyment out of watching the news than I do anything on television anymore.
