I thought it was standard cop show for many years and ignored it. And when I eventually watched it, felt the same way for the first season. That episode is a good one to get a sense of the later seasons.

I probably never would have got into it before Q appeared though.

Maybe they did the standard cop drama 1st season just to get the horse in the gates, then started moving in a whole new direction. They use so many Q related subjects.

Even just the whole ai over-arcing plot was so far ahead of its time. No one was making shows about ai back then.
