To A Town Down By The Sea

This is one show that actually deserves the “Save Our Show” campaign. I tried to describe Terriers to a friend, and the best I could come up with was something like, “It’s just an hour of uncomfortable odd each week.” It has humorous moments, ironic moments, dangerous moments, and many, many quietly clever moments. Donal Logue could not be more believable as Hank, a disgraced cop turned P.I. with skeletons in his closet and tricks up his sleeve, and Michael Raymond-James is just as great as Britt, the perp turned P.I. with equal amounts of skeletons and tricks. I immediately recognized Michael as True Blood‘s Rene from Season One, but I would have NEVER guessed where I would have known Donal from. Look it up…but only after you’ve watched the show.

I think one of my favorite things about Terriers (aside from the outstanding lead actors), is the theme song. The song is actually broken up between the opening and closing credits, so the show always starts, and ends, with the same quirkiness that sets the mood perfectly.

If you didn’t catch the show first run, I would highly advise you to find a way to watch it, even if you have to use Netflix. It’s that good.

[Edit: 12/6/10 Now word comes that FX has cancelled Terriers. This nearly ruins my first snow day.]

    and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”

    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
