Season 3 opens with Jonathan learning some distressing familial news. George reunites with his daughter Emily and Ray spends time with his biological son Spencer. Meanwhile, Jonathan's latest case leaves him in a precarious position.
Even though it's a detective show of sorts, plot has always come second to the inner lives of our three heroes - it's definitely the ensemble that has always kept me interested in the show.
I understand the desire to make an edgy comedy but there's a fine line between edgy & original and annoying & silly and "Bored to Death" too often crosses it.
