My memories are a roadmap that leads to pain and boredom

God help me but I simply cannot stop watching The Mysteries Of Laura.
The clues - OH MY GOD THE CLUES - that the characters uncover and follow are amazing, like something from the old Batman show where they'd go "Who could be behind this dastardly deed?  Wait... this diabolical trap was sprung at sea... AND CATWOMAN BEGINS WITH A C!"  There's a hacker terrorising the precinct and they track him down by noticing that he spells things in a different way (IE: color/colour) as a foreign national might, so they go on "the internet" to look for someone making spelling mistakes and track down the hacker almost immediately - I mean literally within seconds of announcing this is their plan.  It is UHMAZING that anyone writes in such broad and, well... patronising strokes in this day and age when half of tv shows contain self-aware treatises on the craft of writing or at the very least commentary upon their own lack of originality.  There are actual cartoons for babies with better writing than The Mysteries Of Laura, so why can't I stop watching it?
