My wife and I watch all the crime shows. This one is extremely irritating. My wife pointed out it may be the writing and that they are trying to create more drama. Call me petty, but what really irritated me was when they used the term "cool and calculated." My son repeated it. I corrected him and said it was "cruel and calculated." He said he saw the word "cool." I said that makes no sense, so I took it back and the close caption said "cool," proving my 8 YO was correct...I'm trying to teach my children the English language...cool, cruel, and cold mean different things. When I see fireworks, I say "Cool!" Not "cruel" or "cold." The irritation of the first episodes boiled over into this debate which has led us to never watching this show again. I'm sure you will have many more cruel, I mean cool murders.
