Terriers

So Terriers has very little to do with dogs, though there is a dog among the cast of characters. So don’t let the title fool you. This is a show about a former cop and a former thief who are now teamed up to make their livings as unlicensed private detectives.

Hank Dolworth (Donal Logue) is the cop end of this unlikely team. After losing his job and his marriage due to a drinking problem, he is trying to live the simple life, running jobs as a detective to get by. Britt Pollack (Michel Raymond-James) is a former thief who’s moved up in the world with his detective “career” and his girlfriend Katie.

The pilot episode follows Hank and Britt as they attempt to track down the daughter of a friend of Hank’s and inadvertently uncover a business conspiracy. These guys don’t have business cards and their office is a pick-up truck, so they find work where they can.

I suppose this falls under the drama heading but there are some honest laugh out loud moments. Unfortunately for this I do not think there will be a strong enough audience draw for it to make it into season two.
