I'm impressed by the pilot episode. The protagonist has the engaging mix of toughness and vulnerability. Being young, she does foolish things, drinks and consumes illegal drugs. Does not help that she likes to party in a community popular with LGBT visitors. The film makers challenge is to drag the viewer along, as Jackie Quiñones tries to pull herself together. And, embarks on a crusade to unravel the murder that she discovered. There's a good scene where Jackie reported to the psychologist of the addiction recovery home. There, Jackie begins her journey of self-discovery. On a parallel course, there's a police detective trying to find the murderers. He takes it personally because the victim was his confidential informant. A tough ruthless veteran, his contribution is unpredictable. In general, the cast was convincing. The pace was a little fast. I'll be watching the next episode.
