Created by Ted Griffen, Terriers follows kicked off the force ex-cop Hank Dolworth (Donal Logue) and his newly found partner Britt Pollack (Michael Raymond-James) as they take on new cases as private investigators, and the twos past quickly comes back to haunt them. A lot of drama for a detective show, the series has a few "mystery of the week" type episodes but is much more focused on the slowly building back plot of Hank, his seemingly murdered friend, and the big baddies working nefariously against them in some major crime ring, which for me all felt a little overdone. A good version of that macho ex-alcoholic detective who doesn't give an F; too much of the show was spent on soapy relationships between characters that while I understood and were portrayed decently well I have just seen too many times to really care. A trope done well is still a trope and for me that's what much of this series felt like. For a relatively b-side detective drama, if you're a big fan of the genre I would certainly recommend.
