Who has a hard time suspending my disbelief when watching films or TV dramas, and I would probably come to the same conclusion as you if I watched this show, Eliot.

Hubby watches a lot of police procedurals on TV and even though I have never even known a cop or a detective, much of it seems very contrived to me, so I don’t care for most of them. He told me he wants to watch the Matlock reboot. We will see.
