Okay, so it's your typical unconventional hero story. Two cops, Dan (Bradley Whitford) and Jack (Colin Hanks), who seemingly have nothing in common, solve a major crime while originally pursuing something so mundane as a stolen humidifier.
Was it funny? Well I did laugh a few times. Most of the time, however, I was baffled by the highly unlikely turn of events. That so many people were connected in such a convoluted way to the original crime was the sort of thing that makes this kind of show enjoyable, but it was more than a little over the top. It was the kind of show that makes fun of cop shows like Starsky and Hutch while being that same kind of show, and that's more than I can handle on a regular basis.
I'm not sure that the intensity can last, and I won't be following along to find out, but watching the pilot to discover if this is something you want to watch won't be a waste of your time. You may spend the hour saying "Seriously?" or "You've got to be kidding," but something that's exactly what you are in the mood for.
I wish the show luck.
