Hap and Leonard (2016–2018)
6/10
less good than should be mrlansdale
5 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
In hap and leonard Joe Lansdale created two iconic characters and they are excellently imagined here by the two leads but often wasted as they seem to take backseat to most of other characters - why have them tied up for huge amounts of series? Between being tied up or shot they barely function. Thiscould be the soldoer and angel show. In a longer runningseries u need to disable your potent devices to have an effective story line (the transporters are malfunctioing again captain!) but not by episode 3 of series 1!

However truly criminally slack plot holes that Lansdale should be ashamed of. For example, after the dive when the police are at MArvel Creek and team scurry backc to Leonard's place - may be police might just follow up on finding Leonard's truck? Really? Dead police officeers but no one wants to check that lead? Are the gators sleeping at night? Lets both go in the water. I could go on, but whats the point?

I hope there is another seriesbut if itcan't be better than CSIstandard of writing then would prefer Joe Lansdale stuck to his excellent books
