WGN America’s new crime mystery Bellevue premiered Tuesday night, featuring a female detective, a missing teen and a small town scarred by a gruesome cold case.
The show, which follows the story of Detective Annie Ryder (Anna Paquin) as she tries to uncover the mystery behind the disappearance of transgender teen and high school hockey star Jesse Sweetland (Sadie O’Neil), captivated audiences during its series premiere on the cable network.

During the premiere episode, Annie finds herself feeling a connection between the missing teen and a 20-year-old murder that led to her father’s death when she was young. The episode ended with Annie being nowhere close to finding Jesse, but realizing that the teen might have been submitted to electroshock therapy as a way to “cure” their trans identity.
Fans of Paquin and Bellvue celebrated the U.S. premiere of the series, embracing her complex and reckless lead cgaracter along with the macabre tone of the show’s central mystery.
I’m liking this #Bellevue so far. The setting is awsome with the copper slag
