About

"Murder-mystery banter that turns into a slow-burn romance"

A disgraced rookie prosecutor and the woman once suspected of murdering her cheating boyfriend end up working the same criminal cases, first as rivals then as reluctant partners. What starts as a moody courtroom mystery slides into breezy rom-com territory, with the central pair's crackling chemistry doing most of the heavy lifting. The tone swings between genuinely tense case-of-the-week plotting and broad comedic bickering, and at 40 episodes it takes its time getting anywhere, but the leads make the ride enjoyable even when the plot idles.

Watch it for

the lead pair's chemistry, which carries even the show's weaker, slower stretches.

Maybe skip if

you want a tight, fast-moving mystery rather than a long, romance-heavy slow burn.
