Anybody else watching this?

I find it pretty awesome. It's like a B-movie, early 80's action cop drama, and a comedy all got together to have a hilarious love child. I love how unseriously it takes itself, the totally improbable escalation of the cases, the goofy problems the criminals face (the pimp complaining about the economy and the expense of his laser tattoo removal? Inspired!) and the interaction between the two protagonists.

It's on Hulu, give it a whirl if you like off-the-wall stuff.

It's ok. I'm not a big fan of it's Tarantino-style timeline, and the "old-school" cop is more out of touch with the modern world than my grandfather (which makes suspension of disbelieve a little hard) but it's not terrible. It's nowhere near as good as The Unusuals was (which got cancelled) which doesn't bode well for it...

I've seen it twice, it isn't horrible but I can't remember to much about it.
