Ted McCabe, a retired cop, and Lennie Cahill, a recently released crim, reluctantly join forces to trackdown the mastermind behind the heist-gone-wrong that ruined both their careers. Although determinedly on opposite sides of the law, they find themselves growing to appreciate each other's talents as they work together to unravel the mystery and make some much-needed cash along the way. OLD SCHOOL is an odd couple crime series about growing old in a modern world, where your former enemy might just turn out to be your closest ally. Born out of creator Paul Oliver's film Lennie Cahill Shoots Through.
Firstly, let me start by saying I am huge fans of both Bryan Brown and Sam Neil. I was also very excited about an Aussie TV series staring a couple of our best (yes, Sam Neil is considered Aussie) actors filmed in my home town of Sydney and about time to, however I have found this series to be lacking on all fronts! Whoever takes responsibility for writing the script for this series should be flogged then tarred and feathered! I will never understand how both Bryan and Sam agreed to follow this pathetic script writing, they deserve better than this! What a shame!! I believe this series had great potential, particularly considering the fantastic Aussie cast accompanying both stars.
