Will Not Regret Watching...Unless Expecting Elitist Euro-Snobicism.
As some have pointed out, this is no foray into deeply thought-out scriptwriting. And the rapid-fire problem-solving is rather more than a bit far-fetched. (So many hyphenated words!!!). And some complain of Billie's over-reactions to emotional moments, but, honestly, 1) she is young and new to the force, and 2) she's French (Don't jump on me, her mum said something about going back to France. In any case, I don't see Belgians being less emotive than French. And yes, I'm lightheartedly stereotyping!).
But this is one of this rare gems: a drama with comedic bits and semi-comedic characters thrown in. I do tire of very dark shows which drag us into deep, dark, maelstrom of misery while clues are dragged out over several episodes. Often I don't finish watching the series, as they may be great, but they are no fun to watch. I feel depressed after watching.
So that is my small vote for not being too harsh on allowing Europeans to have their own enjoyable television shows. Use this as a reason to appreciate women without Botox and starting men over 50 who say they are 37 on dating apps (was that his brother or the producers? Or the actors's vanity?)

Geronimo (1962)
Rifleman
Wow - never knew Geronimo had blue eyes...
But Chuck Connors definitely had the face - cheek bones, general hatchet visage and kick-ass stance, to play a tough-guy like Geronimo.
I just find the whole romantiziation (??) of the story hard to stomach. His side-kick Magnus' New York/Catskills one-liners seemed a bit out of place as well, but whatever.
And Batman is in the show! How can you miss it?
