Pretty decent, nothing you haven't entirely seen before in half a dozen crime series combined (thinking here of Sherlock, Numbers, Dexter, Lie to Me and Criminal Minds), but with the comedic flair of a Hollywood action comedy.
The series delivers what it promises, and this is more than can be said about many others.

An accountant for the mob has a whole bunch of ...beneficial neurological conditions. Photographic memory, Synesthesia, he can't even lie.
..and now he wants out.
(oh, and he wants to DATE?!)
Follow his adventures as he tries to disentangle himself from a life in witness protection.
======
Bonus: Weird. Think Richard Feynman mixed with John Wick.
