Rewatch Value 10.0
Story: I thought the plot was intricately written with some surprising twists turning what could have been predictable moments into unique perspective changes. Also, it passes the Bechdel test with flying colors, making it into as modern and mature a story as you could hope for.

Acting: I cannot say how much I enjoyed the acting. Each actor delivered faultlessly in every episode; their level of skill was superb. In a few instances, a female police officer was a bit overdone, but I think that was done as comic relief more than as stereotyping.

Music: As long as the music doesn't annoy me, I don't pay much attention to it, although I did appreciate that there was no grandiose orchestral production detracting from the story.

Rewatch: I would rewatch this, especially if I were watching with a friend who hadn't seen it before.

Overall: I give it a 9.5 and I think it deserves every bit of it.
