- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Will Trent, start here.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 13 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
In this mismatched buddy cop dramedy, an amazingly handsome, happy-go-lucky FBI agent is paired with a local, hard scrabble Michigan homicide detective. As they solve crimes together, their polar opposite methods only slightly outweigh their disdain for each other.
