Through its cutesy, airhead feminism and its constant mockery of its eponymous hero, even in the midst of what were presented as serious murder investigations, often with lives hanging in the balance, the show fell between two stools.
See, for instance, episode five, Bogeyman.
On the one side, it wasn't a cop sitcom.
On the other, it wasn't a crime drama with a dark main character somewhere between the Sherlock Holmes of the first Elementary season and Rust Cohle in True Detective, season one.
The wife tells me it most likely won't be renewed.
(I noticed two actors from the show in commercials, Dennis Haysbert for Allstate and Rizwan Manji for Geico. Did you see more?)
