Nah.

But when it says Louisiana or Albuquerque you may be pleasantly surprised with stuff like a man's head on turtle's back or trailer park brothel on the edge of the evil forest
Exactly, these series seem to be put together by a computer.

Why is the character always divorced, or had an affair with someone they now need to get help from, a dysfunctional cop taking the law into his own hands (we see enough of that in the US in real life) and other story lines I've seen over and over.

I watched the first one, got 15 minutes into the second and changed channels.
