Every character is a caricature, the jokes and situations are often sexist, racist, or emasculating without being funny, and nerd culture is laughed at instead of celebrated.
At first I thought I hated this show for the aggressively dumbed-down way it depicts police investigation. Then I realize I really hate it for its especially ham-fisted use of the trope of the Broken Genius, the technocrat who’s all logic and has no understanding of emotion (so the normies watching the show won’t feel inferior to her). There’s probably other things I hate about it too.
