http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/02/K-VILLE----Bedfellows.aspx It’s been a long time since I’ve been fishing, so I don’t know the etiquette for catching corpses. Do you have to throw them back if they’re a certain height, or is it whatever you get? Is there a limit? New Orleans officers Marlin Boulet (Anthony Anderson) and Trevor Cobb (Cole Hauser) probably know the rules; they and their colleagues seem adept enough at catching them. In fact, as we join the boys’ latest adventure in progress, a fairly fresh one has just been reeled in: a former district attorney and local mover and shaker. The one piece of evidence they find is a broken fingernail, which leads to a well-known brothel run by a tough-ass madam (Adrienne Barbeau). Boulet and Cobb do some knocking on doors and find a possible witness, but get their questioning shut down by Captain Embry (John Carroll Lynch), who seems to know this girl a lot better than perhaps he should. Despite getting stonewalled at every turn, Boulet and Cobb keep pushing, and discover links between the dead lawyer and the leader of a Latino gang across town. What the hell does all this have to do with a near-abandoned neighborhood or two? Our favorite N’Awlins boys in blue find out, and just in time to help Embry deal with a home invasion by some motivated gangbangers. This show just keeps getting better every time I watch it, and that’s because the show really focuses on character. This episode, despite having one of New Orleans’ dead spots figure prominently in the plot, could really happen anywhere. The real focus, and the real point, is the damaged relationships that Captain Embry has with his daughter and his daughter surrogate, the aforementioned hooker. Lynch makes good use of this opportunity to show his acting chops, and it’s always welcome to see the burly character actor, likely best known for FARGO and his recurring role on THE DREW CAREY SHOW, do his stuff. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/02/K-VILLE----Bedfellows.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/02/K-VILLE----Bedfellows.aspx#1982 i wasnt aware of this show. will keep my eye on the rants to see if its worthy brokun1 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/02/K-VILLE----Bedfellows.aspx#1982 Fri, 02 Nov 2007 13:53:39 GMT
