I had just started watching the series when this thread appeared and I wanted to watch it all before commenting. The building of ‘30s era LA, the costumes, and the music were all stunning. Taking one case over a season made it drag through and I would have preferred two or three cases.
To Kevin’s point of two of the four leads being gay, I thought that was brilliant. Having a single gay character could feel like a stunt and it would be hard to keep from marginalizing the character. Making both Della and Hamilton gay gives a chance for some exposition during their conversations without any sexual tension. The show’s creators tried to give everyone an active sex life and that fell flat for me.
