I want to give this show an extra bonus star. This is one of those shows where I was pulled in all the way the ENTIRE time. I did not lose interest by even an inch! I was watching other shows and losing interest when I finally gave this one a chance. By "finally" I mean that I was scared to begin an intense and serious show of this genre.

I'm glad I did. I def see myself re-watching this in the future.

It is not for the faint of heart. I have PTSD from an abusive childhood. This show has been very triggering. I actually considered stopping myself from finishing the show as a form of self-care.
Well... damn, my intrigue outweighed my self-care.

The only, real weakness I can identify with is the female co-detective's backstory.
Her backstory was literally introduced in episodes 31 and 32. WTF.
It was like the writers thought "oh! we forgot about the detective's side story...let's fit her background in two minutes." Honestly, it was unnecessary and crude.
They should have (1) shown a scene where the detective shows extreme empathy and later explains the origins of why her reaction was triggered, or (2) dialed down the backstory-related characters' actions and treated the detective with respect and dignity.

Go in with a box of tissues for each episode.
