Maggie Moore(s)
John Hamm plays a local police chief, who along with his deputy, Nick Mohammed investigate the two seemingly unconnected murders of two women both named Maggie Moore. A nosey neighbour to the first victim played by Tina Fey, shares her thoughts with Hamm and the 2 start falling for each other.
Strange sort of sub Fargo comedy thriller that has a sometimes odd mix of comedy and romance (Hamm/Fey), a witty investigation (Hamm/Mohammed) and a quite brutal thriller, occasionally tinged with dark humour (Micah Stock/Happy Anderson). It is not entirely successful in blending these elements, particularly with the thriller sections, but Hamm, Fey and Mohammed are fun company and many of their scenes together are quite sharply written. Not great, but with some nice scenes, so worth a look.
