A collection of discarded, secondhand curious and what's-its purloined from the estate of James Ellroy and old episodes of Dragnet. Janky, repetitive, prestige-hungry, and about half as smart as it thinks it is. Some of the twists and turns of its second half are fairly intriguing (especially as it relates to Cole's character arc), but the process of actually getting there is an absolute slog. It doesn't help that most of the individual cases aren't as engaging or tightly plotted (or hell, fun to play) as I would have liked.
