The worst offense of K-Ville started almost immediately. Sure, the first shot is a guy holding his head above what looks like really clean rising water, and then moves to Anthony Anderson's character amid New Orleans' residents on a freeway overpass waiting for help, but the worst crime is when we fast-forward to the present day and Anderson's neighbor pulls up in a new car that only cost her "two FEMA checks." I mean, come on, why would you put that line in a script, and it doesn't matter that Anderson chastises her for wasting tax-payer money, she's a nightclub singer and has to travel in style. I wish that were the one racist glitch in the script, but no.
Anthony Anderson (Transformers, The Departed, Scary Movie 3 and 4) plays Marlin Boulet, a cop with some anger issues and no intention of doing things by the book. He also has no patience for anyone who is trying to sell their house in his neighborhood or kids that steal his cypress trees. But still, you can see a heart of gold in a kevlar exterior. Joining him in the updated and not-funny-at-all I-Spy set up is Cole Hauser (The Break Up, The Cave, "ER") as Trevor Cobb. Seriously, when they first said his name, I thought they said Trevor Cop, as if this show weren't obvious enough. Add some supporting characters to the crime-fighting duo that, surprise, don't see eye to eye, and you got yourself a show, FOX (insert Lucas-style slow clap with more sarcasm than preciousness).
