This sounds like a character I would hate, personally. I've never been a fan of incompetent detective types, they can get very annoying very quickly. If I were you I wouldn't beat yourself too much over it, if you don't like her for whatever reason, especially if it hits too close to home for you, I wouldn't feel too bad about dropping the show! Keep yourself safe first!

That's not a *person* with mental health issues OP, that's a character that's been written by a real person who may or may not have mental health issues and may or may not be a woman. You're just wasting your time if you think watching a show you don't enjoy will make you not sexist and become a good person. So honestly, while I do believe it's good that people consume media in a critical way, if a character becomes too annoying to handle just drop it.

The main thing I remember from this show is that it was pretty draining to watch. Maybe I’m misremembering, but I can’t remember anyone or thing serving to offset how grim it could get - everyone had their own issues or unreliable narrative running.

Also, the season(s?) I watched ended iirc with her investigation over, but with a whole new set of problems just poised over her head for the next one. Some of it felt like a natural result of her own self-sabotage, but some of it just felt like writers wanting to up the ante. (Still, some kudos for having her dysfunctional-but-good-at-job detective deal with actual consequences and minimal romanticization.)
