Bondsman Hub Halloran (Kevin Bacon) has his throat slit and dies while he is trying to take someone into custody. He dies but he comes back. He goes after the guys who slit his throat and took his truck.
Once he finds them, they point him in the direction of Lucky Callahan, the guy who hired them. Lucky is dating Hub's ex-wife, which makes things a little complicated. Lucky gets away and Hub goes looking for Lucky again only to discover that he (Hub) has been led astray.
Hub has received multiple calls from an organization called Pot O'Gold while he was looking for Lucky. Hub gets home only to discover a woman from Pot O'Gold talking to his mother. She explains to Hub that they brought him back from Hell and that now he works for the Devil.
I had some time on my hands I was curious so I gave this show a try. The season is eight episodes long.
I've seen Kevin Bacon in plenty of movies. Damon Herriman plays the part of Lucky. I thought he looked familiar as soon as I saw him. It turned out I was right. He was also in Mr. Inbetween. Jolene Purdy plays the part of Midge, the representative from Pot O'Gold. I've also seen her in Orange is the New Black although she was only in the fourth and fifth seasons. She played Hapakuka.
I'm intrigued after this one episode. The premise and the production values in this episode are in my wheelhouse. I want to see more. I'm not sure that it won't fall flat at some point but I'm willing to take that chance.
