Joins a genre of the quirky savant Asperger type detective who is genius level, but can't connect with other detectives, upsetting the brass because his thought processes don't fit in standard policy parameters. Of course the police officials are completely clutabout Aspergers or how to capitalize on his genius and skills, while chasing along haplessly behind as he solves the case. So, it's an okay show if you don't mind the "Rainman" trope.

As soon as I saw the opening scene I thought where the heck did they film this, cause it sure wasn't Texas. When I dug further, I find out it's mostly shot in Canada using a bunch of yankee actors. Please can someone get all copies of this, put them in a garbage can, douse them with gasoline and toss in a match. I mean, really? They couldn't find a place in Texas to film in the thousands of acres of actual Southwest terrain in Texas. Some dope thought he could reproduce anything that looked anything like Texas in Canada? Have the morons that put this on even been to any part of Texas so that they could even imagine that there is an inch of Canada and Texas that look remotely alike.

First of all, Ransom Canyon, Texas is just outside of Lubbock, Texas, about 250 miles from the Hill Country. "The primary filming locations were in and around Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Vegas, New Mexico. Additional locations included Bonanza Creek Ranch and Blame Her Ranch." This is like one of those lifetime movies and an obvious trope about a sad dad finding love and saving the ranch. I'm not sure why they had to film it in New Mexico, both Texas and NM have plenty of places to film this trope, I suspect there is a Red Blue reason. And New Mexico is where ALEC Baldwin shot and killed one of the crew while filming another western. Lots to think about, but all the stereotypes of Texas appear to be getting ticked. We stopped after a bit, not a fan but it might be ok for some.
