Wait, no, I am also getting to like GuyCop (I *really* need to read the cast list sometime). What started as the stereotypical tough-cop-from-the-streets, someone to look on and blink in amazement as Bright solved crime after crime, has almost immediately turned into a smart, sensitive (but he'd never admit it) guy played by an actor whose deadpan delivery almost hides his perfect timing.

Bellamy Young is always awesome. I definitely would have tapped out by now if not for the cast. The writing of Bright still annoys me. He's essentially Will Graham, but far more naive.

Every episode so far has some little interaction or aside that makes me literally laugh out loud. There are a lot of things I am not looking about the writing, but there are these small blips of sarcastic/absurd/dark humor genius.

Prodigal Son ended up being probably my favorite new network show of this season. I didn't get around to posting for the finale when it aired because the Fanfare threads were pretty low-comment-count threads, but seeing that there's someone making their way through the episodes now, guess it merits one.

Yeah!
I was very "meh" about the pilot... But I've been to really enjoy the characters and how they interact. And even while these threads don't have many comments, I enjoy getting to see how my experience was shared by others. :-)
I am especially invested in the episode-by-episode analysis of evidence that his sister is a serial killer!

Mother's immediate reply: "Don't lie to your mother."
Mom is rapidly becoming my favorite part of the show.
