Keen Eddie
Keen Eddie. Sure, it’s formulaic, but it’s got the reasonably good looking Mark Valley (who I remembered from the short lived Pasadena, meaning this show will probably get cancelled as well) and Julian Rhind-Tutt (who I enjoyed in my 2nd favorite British series Reckless). It’s worth a summer TiVo season pass as least.
This is a surprisingly good show. Great production values, quirky humor, decent music. The cast is top-notch, esp the women. Much has already been written about Sienna Miller so I’ll put in a good word for Rachael Buckley, who plays the enigmatic secretary Eddie refers to as “Moneypenny.” The running gag is that Eddie imagines she’s coming on to him, although no one else ever sees it. A good lead-in to that other clever Fox series, “Lucky.”
