Storyline

In this detective series with a comical note, Glenn Hall runs an unconventional flashy Private Detective's agency in LA, and means business above all, never mind the rules if she can get around them. Although her ex, police Detective Greg McCormack, now has a dim view of her and her operations, his LAPD connection often come in handy. Investigator Manny Lott (not the only one) is young and charming enough to get where a regular P.I. wouldn't, but often wrestles with his sensitive conscience. The quite varied cases often lead to crime connections, so danger is on the lurk, and some clients are at least as shady as the suspects, partners etc. they want investigated.

User Reviews

Stylish and Entertaining Fun

It's about time network TV gave us a fun and entertaining PI series in the spirit of Moonlighting, Magnum PI, et al. Such works have been sadly absence during the past few seasons of "let's all look alike" newsmagazines and hospital dramas.

Snoops is fun, compelling and stylish. The cast, especially Gina Gershon and Paula Marshall, are gorgeous, intelligent and captivating enough to carry you through any momentary lull in the action. The first few episodes provided a fresh and rewarding ride that I hope will continue through this and future seasons.
