This is the type of series you can binge over and over. It has everything all the ingredients to make a perfect blend of a TV show. A drama at times. Comedy, detective work, lost romance, and bromamce. It's created by Shawn Ryan which alone should make you invested and go watch it but why fx let it go only one season is beyond me. It's a injustice and I can only assume it was due to terrible marketing because this show is REALLY that amazing. I must admit I didn't even hear about it until it appeared on my netflix one day. If there was a show that can be DNR it would be this gem. It's a simple enough story. A detective gets kicked off the force who has a drinking habit but that's where the clichés end. While on the force he let's a burglar go and in the future opens a P.I business with him. At first I thought it would be a procedural but I was wrong and by the end I realized how far back to the first episode they connected everything. It's a serialized buddy detective show and along the way we have so much fun witnessing the adventures and sometimes or most of the time trouble one or both of them get into. This show is highly recommended if your looking for a show to get get highly addicted to and for a high quality binge worthy experience. I've re watched this 13 episode season 3 times and it never gets old but still refreshing. A MUST WATCH

Having just watched this outstanding series for the third time, I really find it hard to believe how Terriers struggled to find an audience - the marketing department at FX should hang their heads in shame.It's up there with Firefly, Studio 60 and Freaks and Geeks, as one of the great TV shows cut short far too early. Having said that, maybe the reason all of these shows felt so good were that they never got the chance to go on too long, ruining the memory of former greatness. Terriers revolves around Hank (Donal Logue) and Britt (Michael Raymond-James), a couple of private eyes working in Ocean Beach, San Diego. The best episodes involve an ongoing story that is introduced in the pilot and concludes in the final episode of the 13 part season. This story is complex, nail-biting and heart-breaking, leaving you wanting more. While the other single case episodes suffer in comparison, they are still solidly entertaining and quirky enough to elevate them from the norm.The show also succeeds in providing us with two main characters who we genuinely care about, despite their pasts and personality flaws. Hank's sobriety and continuing love for his ex-wife Gretchen (Kimberley Quinn) and Britt's criminal past and romantic problems with Katie (Laura Allen) are as important to the show as the cases they solve. Great performances and writing throughout make this a near-perfect series.There really is little wrong with the show other than the poor viewing figures it received. The ending set it up perfectly for another season, but it still works extremely well as the one-off season it turned out to be.

Terriers is very much sublime television. The show takes the best elements of neo-noir, San Diego, and procedurals and melds them into a package that somehow hits the right notes with every episode. Similar to Justified (another FX crime drama), the show starts off light on exposition and introduction. It manages to establish arcs with intelligent and natural pacing. Donal Logue carries the show as the likable but utterly broken Hank Dolworth, giving a performance that hasn't the right to not feel cliché but is ultimately powerful. His partner Britt Pollock (Michael Raymond-James)is a refreshing contrast that ends up dominating a lot of the plot, but is never intrusive. Their dynamic feels incredibly genuine, almost as if the two actors have been friends for some time. Overall, Terriers is television at its finest. It builds and builds, making every plot thread count up to a bittersweet finale. There is no telling where the show could go or if it indeed will ever have the chance to go there. Either way, Terriers is 13 episodes of pure gold.

From the catchy theme-song to all of the main characters, this show is perfect and exactly what I want from TV after a long day at work: a fun escape with characters I can admire, empathize with, and still find myself thinking about later on. Hank and Britt are two lovable underdogs who combine their talents to do PI work after saving each other from their former lives. I love how the show is quirky and unpredictably new, and especially loved one of the recent episodes where we were shown in flashbacks why Hank is no longer with the police force. I love the realistic portrayal of Britt and his girlfriend's relationship and Hank's tenderness to his sister which really just makes me like him all the more. The show seems spot on to me, with excellent dialog, acting, and casting - I just LOVE IT!! I look forward to it every week, and am praying it gets renewed for another season as it is one of the best shows on TV. If you haven't seen it, you're in for a treat.
