Extremely good looking scenery, nice musical scores to the episodes, too. Alas, the scripts don't add up to good stories, the level of corruption exhibited by the police surpasses believability. That's too bad, because the series has so many good aspects, but the bad-guy characters lack subtlety, especially the retired cop whose son is the lead. Some pretty awful dialogue from time to time, too. Bah. Wish the writing was as good as the filming.
