Show's first half struggles to be meaningful but gears click into place afterwards

This show is definitely worth seeing, especially its second season. But I can't ignore the issues the first half had. There was some poorly thought out character drama and interactions that just did not make sense. It felt like they were lowering the intelligence of the prosecution in order to prop up how good the forensic people were. The series operates on a multi-case level, where a case can take 2-3 episodes to resolve. But through this, the first few cases are super forensic reliant, where it felt like the mystery wasn't be solved by the detectives and prosecution but just by the forensic department.

All that changes though once the character drama and ongoing mystery about our main characters is resolved. This leads the show to bring in someone new and that really kicks up the show into a different gear. From there, the show becomes more about the mysteries themselves, and showcases some really great cases with good tension. Some of the characters stop acting so dumb and it feels more like a collaboration between all investigative parties. The show gets better in its last 6 episodes and it leads into a fantastic season 2 so I recommend going through this season. Some of you may even like the early episodes but the show evolves once a certain point is reached.
