Mr Inbetween

Two episodes in and already I'm a fan. The whole "thug for hire" premise suggested this would be a dark show - gritty and serious. Not so. It's actually fairly light-hearted, especially considering the subject matter, and that makes it a fun watch. The cast is largely unknown - at least in the US - but I enjoyed Damon Herriman for years as Dewey Crowe in Justified, and he brings a lot of that Sad Sack charm to this new role. This show isn't going to sweep the Emmys, but it's a pleasant way to kill half an hour, and it has the potential to become a bit more than that.

And for those reviewers who complained about the Australian accents, close captioned (subtitled) versions are available on most of the torrent sites.
