I want to know more about these characters, I want to see where they're headed and what they're doing. In short, I'm intrigued.
However, I also find myself enjoying the weekly cases. Last night Casey and Walsh had to try and prove that a cop didn't kill someone. They backtracked his night, did the whole thing step-by-step, and (and here's where the show really scores points with me) I didn't immediately recognize it when they met the killer. No, they had a conversation with the actual killer and they left the scene unaware of whom they were just speaking to, and I didn't pick up on it either.
It's not that the storyline didn't work or that they were trying to trick us into not figuring it all out, the storyline unfolded very naturally. The writers even gave the audience a reason for depicting the first conversation with the killer, he annoyed Casey in the exact way other cops had earlier in the episode, so the audience was just led to believe that he was there to perpetuate her anger. The introduction of the killer and the scene with him taking as long as it did was cleverly folded into the story.
Come on now, give the show a chance, I'd love the thing to come back next season and it needs some firmer footing to guarantee that.
