Amazing storyline. Great acting. Superb twists and fun cases. I actually did not see that storyline with the psychologist coming and I love how they built so many intriguing cases on top of each other. I love the open-ended ending that made my imagination run wild. I also love the attention to detail and how complicated some of the mysteries were. There's always a deeper twist and I enjoyed the show a lot.

What lowers my opinion of the show is the baffling female lead with unnecessary attempt at romance. I really don't like how they made a strong, masculine female who is so good at fighting/doing manly things and dresses mostly in male clothes, emphasized multiple times that she's such so strong... and then flip to emphasize how pretty/girly she is, make her squeal/scream/cry at the sight of corpses, and make her act like a dumb, innocent little girl. I know many people thought there was sizzling chemistry, but personally, I found those unnecessary romance scenes to be pretty cringe-worthy. Can't she just stay strong, fierce and manly?
