I kinda forgot how strange season 1 was

Re watching season 1 I kinda forgot how strange it was. There are a lot of comedic moments. From what I have read apparently the show runner at the time was uncomfortable with the subject matter and decided to put in a lot of comedic lines to lighten the mood.

And there are courtroom scenes where the detectives are testifying on cases unrelated to the episode.

And probably a case where the writers hadn't really developed the wider lore but Olivia seemed to have a pretty good relationship with her mother which is at odds with later episodes where she seems to dislike her mother.
