This would have been so much tighter if it stayed a small-scale police vs wrongly accused story with a bit of action/drama. By the end, it became so implausible, I mostly tolerance-watched it (it wasn't bad enough to rise to the level of hate-watch).

Mid-tier actors, social commentary that's about an inch deep, a plot that's best not scrutinized too closely, maybe three or four episodes longer than it needed to be....

It's such a Netflix thriller series.

On the plus side, good performances from interesting characters, good use of both music and the Philadelphia setting.

and the Philadelphia setting

Its shot in Toronto and Hamilton. Are there any Philadelphia locations (not that it matters really just curious)?
