Take Two
Created by Terri Edda Miller, Andrew W. Marlowe
On ABC
A light procedural comedy-drama about a washed-up actress and a gruff detective learning to work together, built on charm and redemption rather than stakes.
Sam Swift, the former star of a hit cop series whose epic breakdown is broadcast to the public and sends her to rehab. Desperate to restart her career, she talks her way into shadowing lone-wolf private investigator Eddie Valetik as research for a potential comeback role. Though Eddie resents the babysitting gig, high-spirited Sam uses the skills she learned as an actor playing a cop and proves herself to be surprisingly valuable.
