Why isn't he being given billing?

I'm glad I saw your post because I was going to skip over it. Is he in most of the episodes?

They cut back to the senate investigation from the criminal investigation a few times per episode so far.
I’m on ep. 4.
He’s listed on the IMDb site.

So many red herrings! All kinds of sly references to other famous detectives, loved "Cordelia Cupp," and just about fell out of my chair when Al Franken showed up right at the beginning playing a senator. A great collection of characters and a delightfully weird and complicated plot.

Alot of substory lines that recur throughout
and great character dialogs amongst
the cast. Will watch again .

I am trying to add those when I post about something here, so I don't have to give a synopsis, lol. They seem helpful.
