I can't believe the many positive reviews this series has received, particularly those that praise the lead character Fitz (Coltrane). Fake reviews? First, Fitz is totally unbelievable as a psychologist with a doctorate and a very attractive wife from whom he is separated. I think Coltrane is miscast as Fitz. My wife thought he was repulsive yet he is constantly engaging in sexual banter with a much younger police woman. He comes across as a low-level street con artist. His long monologues in which he has these amazing insights into peoples' behavior, including criminals and others, become boring and, in some cases, are wrong. Fitz never admits that his gambling addition is a problem (he claims that it provides excitement) yet his wife seems willing to forgive him. Everything about this show is wrong: Fitz's continuous analysis of everyone's motives, the constant screaming among the police detectives, the angry crowds that are always present outside the police office, the fact that Fitz seems to be leading every investigation. My wife and I couldn't take it anymore and called it quits after season 1.
