And the new fall season is off and running. I wasn't going to miss Master Chef, however, so Terriers went onto the DVR and I finally got around to watching it today.
The premise of the show is simple, but the title is a bit confusing. Ted Griffin and Shawn Ryan play Hank and Britt two unlicensed private eyes who investigate cases while annoying the police and getting in and out of scraps - both professionally and personally.
Unfortunately, it took a good fifteen to twenty minutes to figure out that this was what the show was about. The episode started with the duo snatching a dog for the lady that does Britt's dry cleaning. Repo men or bounty hunters? I initially had trouble figuring out what they were suppose to be and the show description (that I brought up on screen courtesy of Directv) didn't help.
Once we were told and we were TOLD - one of the two actually tells someone that they are indeed private investigators, just unlicensed, well, then the story premise became a little more clear.
Through the whole show I kept thinking that these two reminded me of someone and finally as it was ending, I realized we were watching a version Sam and Dean Winchester (Supernatural) - if they were older and were looking for bad guys instead of demons and ghosts. I guess this is why the whole thing had a vaguely familiar feel to it, like we've been here and done that.
I will probably tape a few more episodes to see if this one goes anywhere. I started liking it towards the end, but with only 1.6 million viewers (according to the Los Angeles Times), it doesn't appear this one is going to be staying on my "must see - tv" list.
