Topic: RJ Decker

https://next-episode.net/rj-decker

simple throwback detective show much like so many before.
no flash, no glitz, just a simple solid detective show.

reminds me a bit of rockford files, but more up beat,
zero car chases, so better then an 80's show
episodic so far there seems to be very little carry over
every episode is complete in itself.

Re: RJ Decker

3 episodes in...I like it so far.

Yeah it's a simple PI story with all the typical elements. Characters are ok and well balanced.

The only thing that bothers me is

▼Spoiler

Emilia Ochoa...

when someone lied on the stand which got me thrown into jail for 18 months (I am not arguing if he deserved it or not) I would be furious at that person. No apology in the world would change that...

They could have portrayed her as just a necessary evil for him to get clients - but the romantic angle so early is a mistake. Maybe at the end of the season but not right away.

Deserved more runtime:
Abbys | Dead Like Me | Devs | Firefly | Gangsta. | Jack of all Trades | Kevin (probably) saves the World | Lodge 49 | Mrs. Davis | NYC 22 | Powerless | Roadkill | Special Unit 2 | Stumptown | Surface | The Brave | The Crazy Ones | The Finder | The Middleman | Truth Seekers | Two Weeks to Live | Whiskey Cavalier

i 100% agree with your spoiler,

▼Spoiler

i will not even give second chances to long time friends for mildly serious infractions

i am going with he is "florida man just out of jail" so his romantic interest was never going to be a smart choice....
that is my head canon,  and men are idiots for the wrong skirt every time.... so its plausible... LOL
