This show was a one season wonder. Why? I have no idea! It was a critical darling, and you can see by the viewer ratings that the people on the other side of the TV loved it. It infuriates me that FX was so quick to pull the plug on a well acted, well written buddy detective show. The chemistry between the two leads jumped off the screen and all the supporting characters for their roles like a glove. The whole affair had an easy-going Rockford Files vibe. The story, while convoluted (like all decent detective stories) is never so dense that the viewer gets lost or loses interest. The real kick in the crotch is that it ends with a cliffhanger, that, and the fact that, in the last episode, we get introduced by a mastermind of a antagonist, played by Neal McDonough, who would have put in another memorable performance (see Justified for a great example). Back in 2021 there were whispers about reviving the series, but the twin main actors may have aged out of the parts and I wouldn't want to see it rebooted with replacements. Bad form FX...bad form!
