Although this show was generally likable, it has a lot of repetitiveness, and circles the same characters and their slightly dramatic interpersonal matters too frequently - recycling them a whole, whole lot.
Most of the acting is fairly good. Unfortunately, the character development is too shallow across the board.
The lead isn't given a lot of emotional range to display. She literally never gets angry, she just accepts and withstands and breezes right past things. One can't understand her personal motivations to either achieve in her career, or to mess things up in her personal life, because very low insight is offered. It's another generalized shame parade for a character like her, and then she just plows through, taking things in stride and offering more distancing to her reality than anything else.
This show also doesn't display much of 'justice', in terms of outcomes - no criminal prosecutions are depicted for the large majority of the production, and almost everything done in the pursuit of 'law enforcement' turns out to be a pointless fail. They are regularly putting more people in jeopardy than they offer functional protection to. (Too real, perhaps?)
It also has a thinly veiled anti-abortion narrative, partially delivered by a child, which is really a grasping effort.
It features an elderly paternal figure that applies judgement and advice inappropriately, for almost any scene he's acting poorly in. He's on the outside of everything - actions, conversations, factual details, but thinks his own personal wisdom makes his warrantless criticisms and blunt advice somehow functional, or helpful.
Shows that build around a 'strong female lead' of reproductive age should not still be leaning into a parade of criticisms against her and her 'shame' - to which she isn't very reactive, because she 'has hard job'. This is a sorry cop-out, not to make a pun, that keeps getting repeated, almost nauseatingly.
Lastly, a little more leavening humor (sans sex or death references) would've helped.
