Hap and Leonard

There is a treasure. Not a The Goonies-esque treasure of golden goblets inlaid with emeralds and rubies, but a sunken Cadillac with a shitload of cash in the trunk. As is often the case with treasure, everyone has a crush on it. Everyone is wrong. Omar Little, who still sewed gangsters' ears on in The Wire, likes the treasure. The busty pretty, who outwitted even The Don in Mad Men, would know what to do with the sweetheart. Even the narcissistic cult leader from The Following can't wait to squeeze in the treasure. So many people and only one treasure, that's asking for trouble. You can now watch those problems in Hap And Leonard. I would just do it. Is fun. Eight people, one loot and a lot of bullshit. Hap And Leonard is actually nothing more and you don't need more. The new one from SundanceTV feels - yes I'm just going to say this - almost Tarentinoan at times. A cast of, to say the least, colorful types, absurd dialogues and an almost hidden and subtle sense of humor. You need an episode or two to get your bearings, but after that it's in a straight line to the finish. Had Game Of Thrones 'The Red Wedding' towards the end of Season 3, Hap And Leonard has 'War' and that too is forty minutes of OMG and WTF shouting through your living room. SundanceTV had proven long and widely with The Red Road, Rectify and Deutschland 83 that they know how to make beautiful television and with Hap And Leonard they now put an exclamation mark behind that claim.

Super series.
