Terriers.

Todays pick shouldn't consume too much of your time. It's just another excellent TV show cut down before its prime. Terriers follow Hank (Donal Logue), an ex-cop and ex-drunk, and his criminal turned partner/friend Britt (Michael Raymond-James), as two scrappy PI's (hence the title). 
"When Hanks old friend is found dead he vows to solve the crime, and in the process uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the whole town."-the most clichéd sentence ever penned er... typed.


What the show lacks in length it makes up for in pure excellence. It was easily the best new show of the season and one of if not the best shows on at the time (bear in mind that was only on from september to december of 2010, and things like Breaking Bad [aka THE BEST] and Mad Men aired at different times of the year.) Despite how great it was, a flawed ad campaign caused extrememly low ratings (can't fault FX for cancelling it bad) that didn't improve and the series ended after 13 episodes, but boy are they great.
It just arrived on Netflix, and for those of you looking to wade through the b-list material, make sure to check it out.
