I have to say that this go-around is very disappointing, especially judged against the first series. Flat script that doesn't have anyone looking for further development.
The first one with Harrelson and McConahey was some of the best scripting and acting seen on television. This one is weaker than dishwater with McAdams trying to be a tough cop and Vaughn trying so hard to look serious. These two are so miscast that Colin Farrell is a standout -- and to say that shows how low this one is.
You might like it, but your chances for that go up if you didn't watch the first series.
