Bookie

This one looked great in the previews but in the first half of the first episode it seemed very forced and awkward. That did not last. It actually fleshed out in the second episode as a very funny and interesting show. The premise is about two bookies trying to make it in modern day California and struggling with being tough, without being "tough". They can;t seem to get out of their own way, and that leads to some interesting scenarios. The characters are good. The dynamic between the leads works well. Sebastian Maniscalco has already established himself as a good actor in other things so it was no surprise. I look forward to more with this one.
