It used to be a trope in television mysteries that the biggest name in the opening credits that wasn't in the main cast was the bad guy. So you already kind of knew who did it without even watching more than the first 30 seconds.
They were still watchable because there wasn't always a special guest star.
This doesn't follow that trope. It follows the new one where you know who the antagonist is based on race, gender, and sexuality. it takes a little while longer, but still, from the first episode you know exactly who the bad guys are going to be, and how vapidly they are going to be written because of those three factors.
And then it goes a little bit further and does the trope where all the other races, genders, and sexuality are written in a positive, albeit extremely stereotyped why that focuses their entire character around what they are and not who they are.
So, you know, it's one of those.
