The tone is moody and procedural, closer to a slow character study than a twisty thriller. It carries itself on strong period detail and a compelling lead performance rather than shocking plot turns, tracing how an ordinary rookie starts becoming the formidable detective viewers may already know from the original series.
the chance to watch a future icon's grit take shape under everyday institutional contempt.
you want fast twists rather than a slow, atmospheric character study.
