There's been lots of talk of it lately, so I gave it a whirl and watched season 1. It's pretty decent. Natasha Lyonne is great in it as the human lie detector who gets caught up in weekly murder mysteries in various settings. I find it comparable to The Incredible Hulk in that she's on the run from something, inadvertantly doing good deeds in the various places she hunkers down in. It's more episodic in that sense than a lot of other shows, so you don't need to pay too much attention to a greater narrative, though there is obviously is one.
There are a lot of good guest stars, notably Benjamin Bratt, Adrien Brody, Chloe Sevigny, Tim Blake Nelson, Tim Meadows, Nick Nolte, Luis Guzman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Clea DuVall, and Ron Perlman. I also noticed a cameo by Sean Lennon.
Also, the title card is reminiscent of Columbo and retro films, what with that "(c) MMXXIII MRC II DISTRIBUTION COMPANY, L.P. / ALL RIGHTS RESERVED." subtitle. Fun fun.
