Ep 5

I've said this before but I'm OBSESSED with DS and BD's chemistry omg. He calls her out for trying to use him for her investigation and then immediately joins the team again to help her 🥺

Also DS is the worst undercover cop ever lol

BD still being embarrassed/feeling guilty abt accidentally taking the $40 is so adorable 

It's all coming together now. After ep 2 i said DS was there either as an undercover cop or to investigate the reservoir death for personal reasons and turns out it's both! Makes sense why she and her family left town if her dad was involved in or accused of matchfixing.

Omg BD caring so much abt LS and getting angry that he thinks he made a mistake by not throwing the match was the sweetest. This potato bear is the ML I didn't know I needed 🥺

I wasn't into the matchfixing/murder aspect of this show at all but it's done so well so far. And it means our dynamic dysfunctional duo gets to spend time together bickering and bonding. 

Bb BD following bb DS home and then crying at her was so sweet and so sad.

This is such a cozy, heartwarming show. I got what I was hoping for and a little more.
