Panhandle

Agoraphobic Bell Prescott (Luke Kirby) hasn't left his home since the murder of his wife Vida Perez Prescott (Lorenza Izzo) five years ago. He's living with his mother Millicent Prescott (Lesley Ann Warren). When he finds a body on his property, he calls 911. Speed-trap cop Cammie Lorde (Tiana Okoye) answers the call. She's the only one left standing on the police force after the town went under. It's a town full of quirky characters. Most of them hate Bell for abandoning his revitalization plan. County Sheriff Grant (Glenn Morshower) is supposed to be the one investigating local crimes. Cammie keeps investigating including Vida's murder with help from Bell and others.

It's quirky, but not actually funny. It has a murder mystery, but it's not actually dark. The characters are all likeable or fun. It's a Roku show. They don't have a long track record. I don't think it ever had a chance. Another studio may give this more rope. It's never anything groundbreaking. It's too bad but it's not a big lost.

I really loved this show. I love the mystery, the comedy and the chemistry between the characters. It does a perfect job at balancing comedy, thriller, drama and romance at the same time.

I definitely enjoyed this more than most comedy series out there. The comedy is very well written and doesn't even fail to give atlest a small chuckle while maintaining a good engaging story that keeps you on your toes.

It's definitely such a shame there is no season 2 yet, because this show most definitely should have more than 3 seasons by now because how good it is. Plus, with the way that the first season ended, this show definitely needs a second season.

SEASON 2 PLEASE!!

This show is absolutely off beat - and wonderful! And absolutely NOT PC.

Florida is a character in its own right. Imagine that! And there is a beloved alligator that roams around doing what beloved alligators do.

It's a story of love - until certain things morph and it turns to hate - in a most comical and logical way.

I started watching this because of Luke Kirby and rapidly found myself enjoying everyone involved. Kirby is his usual perfection in playing a handsome and deeply flawed man who truly only wants the best for the people in his life that he loves. And his beloved alligator.

If you want something offbeat and smart - this is your next binge.

It is psych meets monk.

I enjoy this show so much it is a spin on the monk/psych formula done very well. It also has a couple underlined mysteries that are present in the storyline through out the episodes that I find very interesting.

The characters are developing nicely and have great chemistry.

The Florida setting is fitting and adds a good amount of its own humor.

This show makes me smile.

Finally another show I can really enjoy. This show does not take itself to seriously which I like and while it deals with serious issues it is done so in a light and comical way. I am loving it 10/10 I hope that it has many seasons because I am addicted.

A must watch.

This show is aiming for a very niche audience: our, 'detective with a burden' is battier than Monk, drunker than House, smarter than Sherlock, and doesn't seem to have a gun, although the charming Leslie Ann Warren playing his mother loves guns and is seen cleaning and oiling a vast collection of antique muskets and rifles which she uses to deter the advances of our tec's giant pet alligator. Our grounded sidekick with their own life is a single mom who is also the cop in charge of collecting enough speeding tickets to balance the city budget. A previous reviewer took issue with the scene where Bellwether (of course that's his name, but most folks call him Bell) smokes Toad but it's a bravura bit, and the show spent a bunch of FX money animating the horns and flies and stuff. As for the niche bit, it's written with the headiest post-peak-tv dialogue imaginable - "Do you prefer hefeweizen or muscadet with oysters?" is used as a distraction - and the metatext is the application of therapeutic practices in the damaged lives of our subjects, and how they are both going to make each other better people. Catch it now, there's no way in hell anything this far up my alley is going to be renewed.
