It is better than pretty the vast majority of procedurals

A bit spoilery of an idea of what you are going to deal with

>!First season is pretty much all procedural, but sets up some future stuff. Second season is similar, but leans more into overall mythos and a story arc (and has some great moments). Season 3, it starts leaning hard into overall story and after that it is "What would it be like if there were an unchained AI without any sense of ethics trying to run things?"!<

It is also sort of like a closet superhero show - Jim Caviezel is the hero, Michael Emerson is his Alfred, then he has some other people who help him out, and then there's his Rogues Gallery who pop up from time to time to fuck with him.

If you want to give some episodes a try before watching a bunch, I would recommend watching Pilot (S1E1) and The Witness (S1E7). You could also try Cura Te Ipsum (S1E4).

If you like those, you will enjoy the series - since you will have some episodes that are either pure number of the week, or NotW with some story weaved in.
