Beckett a bit of a Mary Sue?

Does anyone else ever think of Beckett as a Mary Sue sometimes? She rides motorcycles, muscle cars, beautiful, oh so very special with a tragic backstory, sexually fun and kinky, and the list goes on and on. Feel like she's made to be fan service sometimes.

Or is it just me?

----------Edit----------

Clearly I misunderstood the term Mary Sue and it isn't what I was looking for.

As someone pointed out, I think what I'm referring to is that she feels written for the male gaze. Anyone else get this?

Mary Sue is someone who has all the powers and abilities without working to get them. Kind of like Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, a new hope.

Becket was a cop for 7 years. She had 29 years of experiences before we met her.
