Must see TV, the Terriers are down and out but lovable ex cop Hank (Donal Logue) and ex-thief Britt (Michael Raymond-James), who run an unlicensed PI business from a beat up old truck to get by.
In episode 3 less than honest Hank gets so desperate to secure a loan to buy his ex-wife's house that he takes on work from a loan officer, promising him a loan in return for proof of his wife's infidelity. Poor Hank quickly realises that the wife is actually faking her affair in an attempt to satisfy her deeply troubled and masochistic husband, and he ends up helping her by concocting photos of a phoney motel interlude. But when he ends up sleeping with her himself later, things go terribly wrong. Meanwhile, Britt has to cope with a blast from the past when one of his criminal buddies comes knocking.
Whilst the subject matter is a bit heavy, the approach is refreshing and light and the characters are warm and believable. Clever, rich and engaging, Terriers is marvel in this day of hypnotic paint by numbers crime dramas and cop shows.
