10/10

All the stories told in the series have been done before. In fact, there isn't much of the show that is unique to it, right down to the concept, which is a rehash of so many others told before.

However, the lead couple work very well together and that made it a pleasure to watch, even if it was yet another spy/detective/cop comedy/action show on prime time television.

They were a pleasure to watch together and that made for a very addicting chemistry, despite the fact it was a rehash.

You've reached the end.
