"Is that a baton in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

Best cold open of the show. A practicing garage band annoys Nolan with an hilariously catchy hook during a traffic stop, and Juarez can't get the tune out of her head.

This is the kind of light-hearted, down-to-earth silliness that the show does best. It is really nice to see that after 2+ solid seasons of incessant shark jumping, the writers can still find an occasional pitch-perfect scene or two.

More of this, please. Skip the "real crime" mockumentaries, the over-the-top serial killer action hero schlock, and the absurd doppelgänger contrivances. Give me back the mundane beat-cop aphorisms and amiable banter that have always been as hard to ignore as this opening song.
