As a cat person this often created a sense of anxiety within me akin to Uncut Gems.
My kids watched this (fourth grade, 10 years old) and they liked it! Lost their focus the last like twenty minutes but I was impressed with how much it grabbed them.
Rewatching this as we continue to dive into early-mid 2000 television. Propulsive! Very well constructed for what it is. Makes a lot of promises which will be inevitably broken due to the practicality of making a weekly television show but Edward James Olmos and Mary McDonnell bring such a high caliber of acting to each scene. I echo many a television critic in that this is the most post 9/11 show.
