info_outline 431 - M3KFailure To Launch
It’s the Three Musketeers, but set in modern day (August 2000) America! How does that work? We still don’t know.
info_outlineThis week's Failure to Launch covers Crowfoot, the story of Detective Nick, er, Crowfoot, a half-Native American cop working in Hawaii who has psychic powers and may also be able to shapeshift, although he's not sure about either of these things.
- You'd think this'd be enough to base a show on, but Crowfoot is also about:
- His partner Det. Lisa, an older Japanese-Hawaiian cop who's psychic for psychics (maybe)
- Rachael, a lady Nick found washed up on the beach with amnesia who keeps disappearing and reappearing
- Det. Nuzo, a grizzled cop who hates his ex-wife and seems mad he's not the main character like he normally would be in a show like this
- An arsehole divorce lawyer who's going through a divorce (get it?)
- Monk, the world's most suspicious man, who built a car that runs on garbage, and no-one acknowledges that this is a miracle
That is an incomplete list. It's been a while since we watched something this bonkers. Settle in.
