"3.5. Too many leads that went nowhere. There were whole plot points that could’ve been stricken without any impact to overall story. A significant amount of time was spent on the crane angle and then it was a goose egg - maybe it’s realistic to real investigations but it felt like something should’ve come of it when so much time was dedicated to it"
