- Made for crime-drama fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Bosch or True Detective, start here.
- The mood
- Tense, dark and gritty.

- 2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 24 hours in all.

Complex, offbeat Detective Charlie Crews returns to the force after serving time in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Crews' new lease on life has provided him with a Zen-like outlook, peace of mind and no need for vengeance, an attitude which can be challenging to maintain when someone he cares about is threatened — or when he is investigating the mystery surrounding the murder he was falsely accused of.
