The first episode is just a pilot episode so it's not the best way to judge the entire series. It sets the stage for everything but they hadn't quite figured out the tone of the show at that point (like most pilot episodes). You need to watch a few episodes to get into it. You also need to understand that the show isn't so much about solving cases as it is a critique of institutional corruption.
