I love good detective procedurals, like Monk and Psyche, and the excellent Peacock series Poker Face. These series usually have a protagonist with a special crime-solving talent (usually "a blessing and a curse" ) like Adrian Monk's OCD and Shawn Spencer's childhood training by his cop dad, but Will Trent's is especially interesting: having grown up in the foster care system, he can tell when things and people are not quite right, and takes careful inventory of his surroundings, something he had to do to survive a series of abusive foster parents. This history is also the reason he adopts Betty, a murder victim's adorable chihuahua, and while watching each episode I'm more concerned Betty is safe than that the crime is solved.
