Off-Topic

I'm liking it less and less each show. It doesn't help that I'm not a big fan of the main character (Sarah). She has no personality and really seems like her character was only written so they can balance out Stephen. Plus all the faux cliff hangers are getting annoying.

We know Sarah is never going to Sonoma until after the case is solved, so the fake struggle she's having every week is tiresome. Also, the endings at the end of each episode are only created for dramatic effect and add no real substance to the story. They lead up to this big ending and it keeps getting squashed in the first minute of the next episode. Not to mention they've dragged on this politic arc that has no real point several episodes in. I'm sure it will tie together by the end, but right now they've wasted too much time on the campaign that only has minor ties to the case.

I'm going to continue watching it because I've already invested time in the series, but unless the next few episodes are amazing, I doubt I'd watch another season.

Yeah the Richmond storyline is really uninteresting at this point. Agree about the weird sex timing. I also had the thought that no politician would run an ad like the mayor ran. It was way over the top negative, and the teacher hasn't even been arrested or charged with anything so I don't think the mayor would open himself up to a slander lawsuit like that. The political story was kind of interesting when it tied in closely with the murder, but right now it is like it's own boring show that is interupting the more interesting murder show.

Am I the only one who thinks that the Dad of the dead girl (Sam I think) is really Louis CK with his hair dyed brown?

I'm still really enjoying this show. I agree that the political storyline is losing steam, but I have a feeling it is going to start tying in nicely w/ the murder storyline.

I feel like they are really trying to stretch this show out to get extra episodes instead of making the series actually good. Sunday's show added absolutely nothing. They are still dragging out the election which still has no relation to the murder as of yet and to a degree focused more on that arc than the dead girl. The whole FBI thing (which once again got resolved within the first minute) was a bit over the top and a cheap way imo to make the case more difficult.

I can't believe there are actually 13 episodes for this season. If they don't tie all these arcs together soon, I'm out.

The murder/terrorism link is kind of interesting. The campaign is wholly uninteresting and the show really loses focus when that is the center of an episode like it was the other night.

I don't think it was a promotion, just a transfer from the Narc unit. Linda is suppose to be training him too but she was suspicious until they cleared everything up at that scene at the docks.

This, plus I know a couple people who weren't even let into the police academies they applied for because they tried coke or acid, can't remember which, in high school.

I know only 6 or 7 days have passed on the show, but I seriously want to punch the dead girl's mom in the gut and tell her to "Stop Grieving Already!".....

I have no real basis for thinking this, but I'm starting to like the dad's employee for being the killer. I'm sure I'm wrong, but there's something about the guy that strikes me as suspicious.

Good episode. Glad to see Bennett killed regardless of if he killed Rosie or not, didn't really like him at all in the first place. The scene at the school where he tries to teach again was soooo awkward I cringed. Excellent job by the writers and actors. When Rosie's dad is beating Bennett to death, how wierd is his friend/employee to be jumping around in the background punching rocks? Does he get a super adrenaline rush/high from killing people? The Richmond campaign was even better than usual, mainly because I really like that rich asshole guy. Although I still don't see the tie-in with the murder besides the campaign car. It's like watching two different shows rolled into one. Adams continues to prove he is a bigger scumbag than people realize and I think could eventually have a connection in the murder.

I think the employee/friend of Rosie's dad will become a suspect and we could find out something suspicious about him. I don't see them retracing to the high school kids so I guess they are starting from scratch.

I think this show sucks now. Every week they set up something big at the end of the episode only to explain it away quickly in the next.

The whole politics thing is massively uninteresting and the "make this shot and I'll give you $5 mil" thing was ridiculous. Not only was it laughable that they did a cutaway, but why the hell should I care if he wins the election? He's unlikable and annoying, plus the show is about a murder, not an election.

The male cop Holder is stupid and annoying and said so many cliches during the interrogation of Muhammed that I was rolling my eyes. Similarly, the defacing of the mosque just felt so fake. Swastika's on a mosque in Seattle? Please try harder. They should have just put up a flashing neon sign that said "INTOLERANCE"

The employee is def off, but i bet the whole punching he rocks will be a way for him to take the fall for Stan since he will have the scars on his hands
