It helps if a cop has a twisted sense of humor, because every moment could be your last.
The Unusuals explores both the grounded drama and comic insanity of the world of New York City police detectives. Casey Shraeger (Amber Tamblyn), who started her day as an NYPD vice detective, is unexpectedly transferred to the homicide division. She quickly realizes that, not only does everyone in her new department have a distinct sense of humor, but also their own dirty little secrets ... which serves her well, since she's keeping a few of her own.
The ensemble cast also includes Jeremy Renner, who plays Casey's partner Detective Jason Walsh.
A mid-season replacement that lasted just one half-season, The Unusuals: The Complete Series set of 2 DVD discs contain the 10 episodes that aired during the spring of 2009 on ABC.
