TERRIERS “Agua Caliente” Season 1 Episode 8 – This weekend I was at Disneyland with a bunch of friends and believe it or not, the subject of Terriers came up. Turns out some of us were watching it and others in the group wanted to know why and what was so good about it. It made me realize that it’s not easy explaining this show to people who haven’t seen it, and explaining why I dig it? Not so easy either.
That’s because what I like about the show seems to change from week to week and that’s because Terriers seems to change from week to week. I mean so far we’ve had episodes full of humor and others that were full of drama. Then tonight we get ourselves a real, live kidnapping episode. If you’d told me when I saw the pilot that someday Britt would get kidnapped so that he could steal a buttload of cocaine to keep his girlfriend safe and that Hank would track him all the way to Tijuana to save him and get shot in the process? Yeah right, I woulda probably asked you what you were smoking.
When I tried to explain to my friends what I liked about Terriers and why they should watch, I know that part of what I said was that it was never what you expected. Hell, I can’t even give it a genre. Is it a cop show? Nah. Is it a buddy comedy? Well there are buddies and there is comedy but I still wouldn’t call it that. Is it a drama? Nope, too damn funny at times for that.
So I’ve decided that I’m not gonna try and put a label on it. I’m just gonna say I like it and list off my favorite bits from this episode…
This line from Britt when Hank sank a sweet putt – “Dude I didn’t know you were a bowler”
Hank correcting Britt that it was “You’ve been served” not “You got served”.
Being pretty disappointed that Hank didn’t fall down when the guy dumped all the golf balls in front of him. I mean it always works in the cartoons, right?
Getting worried the moment Britt wasn’t in the parking lot and then doubly so when Hank found his phone.
Hank walking in on Maggie using her breast pump at her desk. Whoops!
Hank offering himself up to Mark’s wife. LOL.
The way Hank and Mark worked together when they saw that Britt was in trouble.
Hank asking Mark if he wanted a Jai alai basket while he was down in Mexico. LOL.
Practically biting my nails from nerves as Britt tried to reason with the bad guys so he could get Felipe’s phone.
Literally cheering when Hank and Britt ran to each other on the streets in Tijuana.
Britt reminding Mark that he once said Hank would let him down and yet he’d just taken a bullet to save Katie. So cool.
Hank having the balls to threaten the professor while sitting there with a bullet in his shoulder. That was awesome.
What did you think of this episode of Terriers? Got any favorite bits or least favorite bits of your own? I’d love to hear from you!
