"Fitz" has been exiled to Saint-Pierre et Miquelon just of he coast of Newfoundland for getting too close to solving a corruption scandal - so we know he's a good cop in at least two senses of the word - but if he was expecting a quite life he can think again. There's an assassin and a decapitation in just the first three episodes.
There are a few familiar tropes (including the powerful female police chief who is initially suspicious but then warms to the outsider, sexual tension, the tough guy's appealing vulnerability - he doesn't "do heights") but this is a well-made, fast-paced series set in a beautiful location with plenty to commend it.
