The one show I always try to get people to watch is Terriers. It's one of my absolute favourite shows, and (too) few people know about it. It aired on FX in 2010 and was cancelled after the first 13 episode long season. That one season however has a satisfying conclusion and is a great self-contained story. Sadly it was also never released on DVD, so you need to catch it on Netflix or such. We follow Hank Dolworth (Donal Logue), an ex-cop and recovering alcoholic, and his partner Britt Pollack (Michael Raymond-James), a former small-time criminal, who work as unlicensed private investigators in Ocean Beach. They get by doing small, insignificant jobs, while struggling with their private lifes. Hank is still in love with his ex-wife Gretchen (Kimberly Quinn), who left him because he was a total mess, while Britt on the other hand finds himself out of his depth when the relationship with his girlfriend Katie (Laura Allen) grows more and more serious. One day Mickey, an old drinking buddy of Hank's, turns up in town, all washed-up and desperate, and asks him to locate his estranged daughter. Hank and Britt get to work and soon discover that she seemed to have been involved with big time real estate developer and local hero Robert Lindus. When Mickey is found dead of a drug overdose Hank is convinced of foul play from Lindus's side. After failing to convince his former partner from the PD, Detective Mark Gustafson (Rockmond Dunbar), of his suspicions he and Britt decide to take justice into their own hands. And from there on out the real trouble is only starting... The actors are great, the writing is great, the pacing is great, the humour is great - pretty much everything about this show is great. Go watch it already!
