The murder investigations in Minority Report are just not as interesting as the underlying mythology…
This Minority Report review contains spoilers.
Even an entertaining procedural can be made more three-dimensional by themes that dig below the surface.
Besides some attempts at heartfelt character moments, Fredi is still focused on the wrong things.
These character developments were well presented, actually, but perhaps not as high on potential viewers priority lists.

Akeela also strangely has the edge on Vega when it comes to fun-to-watch character interactions.
Her immediate rivalry with Wally, although predictable, gave her character a richness Vega has yet to attain.
Even her eye tattoo being revealed as a facial recognition cheat was a juicy detail.
And I definitely enjoyed her memorable defense of lax bros everywhere: Hey, dont hate on lacrosse!
Li Jun Li threatens to steal the spotlight from the female lead!
Of course, she might have competition from Agatha as the most interesting character in the series.
The eldest pre-cogs continuing, enigmatic mission to uncover facts (perhaps technical schematics?)
about her time in the milk baths is infinitely more interesting than whatever the Metro PD is up to.
Are Agathas actions being motivated by the prophecy of Vega next to the milk baths?
If the show digs deeper, Ill sink deeper into my couch on Monday nights.
