I wanted so much to enjoy this show. It ticks all my requisites.
One thing that bothered was how they try to reference film noir by any means necessary. As a huge fan of Humphrey Bogart, that detective with the hat seems like an uninspired caricature. AFAIK he's the only character to use a hat, and it is a forced attempt to mimic Bogart.
I have nothing against the idea of referencing a beloved genre, I just don't think it was very well done. Maybe it gets better later on. This was not the only reason for me to stop watching, though.

I thought I was alone in this! I hate that hat so much. A few friends are crazy about this show, but I just can't get over this. I really should give it another shot.

That is good to know.
Joe Miller wore a hat in the books, too.
(It's said to be a pork pie hat, but it's close enough to the show that I'll call it artistic license.)

It would make more sense if the character were a movie buff or something. He even look like Bogart. It’s like a bad parody.
