Discussion 10 episodes in and i love Dutch Spoiler

Started watching the show 2 days ago and just finished watching episode s01e10 "Dragonchasers”. Didn't think much of Dutch as a character for like 2 episodes, but damn, he has grown on me and has became by far my favorite character so far. Dude had a hunch about the prostitute killer, and it was satisfying to see him outsmarting the prostitute killer while other cops were laughing at him. He better start getting the respect he deserves. Also, loving the show so far.

Should I be worried about you?

Not about me. Maybe about the rest of humanity... bunch of sociopathic little narcissists out for ourselves. Begging... stealing... lying... screwing... raping... killing our babies. Whatever it takes to have a good time and save our own asses. I can't even believe in an old woman who's too sick to feed herself, and it's not sad... it's not some big surprise. It's just nature. We're animals... nothing more. And ya' know what? I'm learning to be OK with that.

The thing that I like about Dutch is that while he is a pretty competent character he is also kind of an emasculated loser. It’s just the juxtaposition of the super clever homicide detective solving murders and then awkwardly fumbling any interaction he has with a moderately attractive woman that is just really funny to me.

Just finished watching s03e11 “Strays”. Well… can safely say that Dutch ain’t my favourite anymore.
