Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Pro: Some of the comments are cute and very realistic. “waves Pixie banner.”
It’s nice the way they work together and provide extra boots on the ground to track down the bad guy.
Con: There are some annoying infodumps at the start, and since this is 100% dialogue, those are all as-you-know-Bob infodumps.
Most of the characters blur together.
