Despite the love-hate relationship and constant disagreements Tyler and Hunt suffer, they eventually come to respect each other, with Hunt respecting Tyler due to his tireless and methodical investigation techniques and, while not agreeing with all his methods, Tyler respecting Hunt's ability to get results. The creators have stated that this is because Hunt "sees a lot of Tyler" in himself. They both appear to trust each other as in the of series two, Hunt calls Tyler first after he wakes up having appeared to have killed a man while Tyler appears to be the only officer who believes that Hunt is innocent and eventually he is proven right.
