Enter DS Jenn Townsend (Marsha Thomason). If you blinked during the Webrip’s jumpy first two minutes, you’d miss her transition from “distracted parent” to “lead investigator.” The writers are clearly trying to give her the Lisa Armstrong treatment—personal life bleeding into work—but the seams show here.
