Erin's improbable combat victories strain credibility, considering her small frame and limited training as a police officer. The show has lost its original luster and devolved into a run-of-the-mill Netflix drama, lacking both excitement and unpredictability. In short, "Who is Erin Carter" now meanders in clichés, making its future trajectory all too apparent.
