I'm enjoying the show as a whole: storylines are interesting, characters are fun to watch with their individual dynamics, etc, but there's WAY too much narration for my liking. I know this is probably because Peter Lenkov's overseeing it all as an executive producer and all which explains why this show and Macgyver have a very similar feel... But it's excessive! I'd rather be shown than told, it feels like a lazy way to explain things to the audience.
It's just weird, 'cos I really don't mind it with Macgyver - at least, with the premise of his show and it being reliant on the main protagonists' out-of-the-box thinking, it works. It just feels tacky, perhaps even unnecessary with this show, for some reason.
Past the half-way point of the episode, I thought the son was the one who did it. I was wrong. It was even more predictable than that and I feel stupid for not considering it at all.
