The first couple episodes were very intriguing but, the plot formula seems to be on auto pilot. This show seems to prefer interracial couples.

Think for yourself
lead character stereotypes conservatives -- unfortunate
In S1E3 "The Stall" the lead character betrays her woke worldview by going on a rant against a conservative radio announcer (or more precisely a ridiculously sterotyped caricature of one), with typical pejoratives such as racist, fascist, transphobic, etc. The lead character, Charlie, ought to be politically neutral. But as we know, Hollywood's cultural Marxist agenda ruins everything. The sleuth Columbo, whom the series appears to be patterned after, would never express such opinions. Also, in deference to BLM, I suppose, there are an incredible number of black actors in this rural scenario where the vast majority of people would be white, so it strains credulity and makes the suspension of disbelief difficult. It's actually a well-written and acted show but it's always irksome to see the woke b.s. enter the script, trying to impart "the message" -- though to be fair it's not as bad as some tv shows or movies these days.
