Good, With A Caveat

I find this series highly watchable. A great and unique premise plays out in each episode while main character Detective Britten solves two crimes with interesting crossover pieces. Suddenly there's a singular crime this time around to good effect. This one, however, is almost spoiled (not quite) by a terrible character. The FBI agent sent in to help is flat and totally, due to personal bias and motives, unbelievable. This character is both written and played terribly. Of course, Britten will prevail mostly, not completely, in spite of this. I'd say a better episode easily could have been written around the same basic story. There's a difference worth noting here and that is between the consecutive days (realities) for the first time we barely see Britten's wife, or son. Also, this episode skews almost completely to one of the two days instead of a 50/50 balance between the two. The dwelling on one day, and that crime, is a good move I'd say rearranging the basic formula of the show keeping interest up.

Trivia
A character's phone number is shown to be (310) 742-3046. (To avoid a spoiler, character is not specified here.) 310 is a real area code in Los Angeles, the show's setting. An internet search for that fictional phone number produces multiple pages of listings for Cash Loans of Nashville, which has 742-3046 as its telephone number, but of course with a different area code. However the company's street address is the same as the fictional phone number's area code, 310.

Goofs
When Britten is describing the suspect to the motel manager, he says, "keeps himself to himself," which is the British version of that expression. An American would say, "keeps to himself," but the actor, Jason Isaacs, is a Brit playing an American.
