Investigator Alexa Crowe, cannot help fighting the good fight – whether it is solving murders or combatting the small frustrations of everyday life. Fearless and unapologetic, Alexa's unique skills and insights into the darker quirks of human nature, allows her to provoke, comfort and push the right buttons as she unravels the truth behind the most baffling of crimes.

What viewers say

Viewers enjoy this breezy crime series as a comfortable, lightly funny diversion, led by a star whose dry one-liners and warmth as a retired detective drawn back into cases get constant praise. Fans like the clever but not grisly mysteries, her easy chemistry with her young data-analyst sidekick, and the bright city settings. Criticisms are that it can feel lightweight, bland or a little too cute, with predictable solutions, some side storylines fall flat, and a few viewers say the opening episode is weaker than what follows.

Best for: Viewers who want easygoing, humorous mysteries with a charismatic lead and little gore.
