    The tone of the show veers back and forth between comedy and suspense.

Since the actor is a comedian, he gets the funny lines. If you are looking for the standard police procedural, you won't find it here. But if you're looking for something which doesn't take itself too seriously and has both comedic and crime, elements you may find it enjoyable.
