This show is beyond any genre. I can easily tell you how brilliant the stories are, how brilliant the acting is, and how natural the writing is, but I could not do this masterpiece justice. It is smart, it can be funny, it can be heartbreaking, but most of all, it can make you search inside yourself to make you rethink what being human is. The show does all this while crafting clever and nuanced problems for the cops to solve, and it sometimes doesn't end happily. That's what makes this show different for me: it isn't afraid to go there, and when it does, it blows you away.
