It's a good show honestly and has a lot of interesting moments in it. I think that the weak part to the show is honestly the cases each week. They can be so boring and not entertaining or interesting at all. They aren't fun to watch and I feel like if they improved, then it would be much better.
Now, the characters are why I watch this show because they each have a backstory that intrigues me, and Sir and Gabi's relationship is top notch. The acting is decent throughout the show (the main actors are good but the others aren't that great). I am excited for what is to come but I do hope it improves. Overall 6/10 is a fair score I think.

It's a pretty ridiculous show, and probably isn't realistic at all. But it's incredibly entertaining and has a good message. There's plot twists, mysteries, and honestly some episodes have me on the edge of my seat. It's a pretty simple episode structure, but the character backstories and traumas make the show for sure. But at its core, it is a found family feel-good show that is about working through trauma and mental health. Margaret's storyline is maybe the saddest, and it's the most believable and best acted. And Gabi's relationship with Sir is just so compelling, it really makes the show. Who knew Zack Morris would make such a convincing kidnapper?
Regardless, this is a show I tune in every week for. It has literally everything.

What can be better:
To be perfectly honest, Shanola Hampton's acting I don't completely love.
While the premise is really interesting in my opinion, the show has that classic format of shows like Criminal Minds and whatnot and it can be cheesy at times.
I didn't like Karan Oberoi's Character (Dahn), in season 1 specifically, really flat
I didn't love season 1, but I stuck with it anyways and it was worth it for how good season 2 has been so far.
The characters are getting much more interesting, including "Sir", but in particular Margaret, (Kelli Williams) her acting is really fantastic and her character so compelling, can't wait to see what happens with her.

The lead actress is the low point of this show. I don't care whatsoever about her character and I should. The young lady who plays her in flashbacks is more compelling. Having said that, I think the show is good and the rest of the cast does a great job pulling you into their story. I don't know how long this show will last but I am invested in their stories. I really like seeing Mark Paul in this role. Creepy. Doesn't think he's the bad guy. Well done. I'm sorry but they need a better actress to play the lead or kill her off and let someone else take it. She's too Vivica A Fox and that's not a compliment.
I love the concept of this series, but the acting is just awful!! Like, embarrassingly amateur and predictable. I never once forgot I was watching actors at work, each performance straining to convince; which meant none were very believable. Super stereotypical villains and heroes, which was irritating after awhile- it's not so easy to spot who is who is real life, folks. It's would be nice if it was, but a certain appearance doesn't indicate "good" or "bad". I really tried and I wanted so much to like this show, but I truly cannot keep watching. Maybe it would be fine tucked into the Lifetime movie library, or if Hallmark has a drama category?
