The Jettyの配信情報・視聴方法・感想

A pretty decent crime show.

The relationship between DC Manning (Ember) and her mother, with Ember reproaching her mother for not protecting her enough as a teenager in light of her current investigation, is interesting and would have deserved to be explored more deeply. Just as the noxious and perverse atmosphere in the local community regarding underage girls, that ultimately takes a backseat to the 17-year-old cold case about Amy, while the opposite approach—the cold case taking a backseat to the current events investigation—could have been more convincing, from both a police and scenaristic perspective. This would have allowed the show to delve into darker and more dramatic topics.

(Spoiler alert) The final twist, even if probably not unique, is interesting enough. A crime show was bound to try this at some point, I guess. Obviously, it comes with a few plot tricks that might feel a little too handy and disappointing (an accident rather than a murder, and memory-altering drugs), but it's difficult to consider alternative solutions. If the show had been more balanced between the different topics, and not focused solely on finding Amy's murderer, the final twist might have feel less important, hence more acceptable.

Overall, despite the above, it's a totally decent show in its category.
