Delightful! I loved both Pentecost and Parker! A great setting (NYC 1945) too. P&P are private investigators who work with the police (to a degree) but also understand the shortcomings and oversights of law enforcement. Really excited for more in this series.

Rep: Pentecost has multiple sclerosis and Parker is queer (she never uses a label for herself but talks about dating both men and women).
