The Promise

This really can't be compared to Spiral which apparently is from same production team and the reason I watched.

A female police detective who's bad at her job surely isn't the ideal protagonist for this flawed series.

It just about gets to episode five with some credibility before bringing on a series of risible belly laughs - which is obviously not the audience response the producers are hoping for.

Maybe just one day there will be a detective who has a supportive partner, that would be radical. And that is just one of the many cliches that abound in the poor script.
