I came close to pulling the plug when Charlie misidentified a turkey vulture as a "buzzard" in an early episode.

At what point will Charlie stop and ask herself why people keep getting murdered everywhere she goes? That's far more concerning than a weird talent for detecting lies.

As one woman said about Tom Brady, “Who the f is that?’
