415 - Crowfoot

Failure To Launch

This 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.
