The first ten minutes are packed with originality!


If you're bored of the same old stuff, then this show will blow your mind. Its so original that you might need to watch it twice, because you won't even know how to take it in on the first watch.

- A man with "special skills" runs into some ignorant rednecks. First he shows his expert knowledge to make a fool out of them, then he kicks their butts. I don't think this has ever been done before.

- The man is shown to be manly with his shooting, stubble, and physique. When he returns home, his wife stares longingly at him from a balcony, all pretty with blonde hair, who then jokes with him about him getting the right food for dinner. Its so witty and hilarious, because he's almost too manly to buy the right food, but she loves him anyway and they giggle with their daughter at dinner. This portrayal of alpha-male and "beautiful wife in the kitchen who stares lovingly at her manly husband" and cute giggly daughter is a really unique twist on the typical relationship scenario we've come to see from Hollywood. Its quite contemporary in showing us a very gritty, naturalistic look at modern family life.

- A black federal agent then visits the mans home to describe some recent crime, that needs his special skills to solve. This is absolutely groundbreaking as a way to start a story.

- The man says he doesn't want to do it, and the black federal man says they "need" him.

Overall I can barely process how unique this story is heading to be.
