It recently started airing on Alibi in the UK, and I must admit that I think I'm in. I'm not going to pretend that it's anything too different, but the lead character is interesting, and it's not a crime of the week series. The show's tape-deck thing will wear thin after a while - I mean tapes come round eventually even allowing for it being a C90 compilation. It might be nice if, beyond the pilot and a couple of exterior pick-up shots, they actually shot the thing in Portland.
One thing. It would be great if there were a US TV series where the Native American characters weren't slightly shady (at best) or downright crooked (at worst) casino owners. I'm wracking my brain to think of the last show where a major or recurring Native American character wasn't in some way an antagonist of the lead. Perhaps Lou Diamond Philip's character in Longmire (even if Philips himself isn't actually Native American), although that series definitely had the antagonistic reservation police cop. Surely I don't have to go back to Ed from Northern Exposure?
