Backstrom (2015)

[Jay Bluebell]

From creator/executive producer Hart Hanson (BONES), BACKSTROM is a subversive and comic crime procedural about an unhealthy, offensive, irascible – albeit brilliant – detective who is brought back from exile to run the Portland Police Bureau's Special Crimes Unit (S.C.U.).

Detective Lieutenant EVERETT BACKSTROM (Emmy Award nominee Rainn Wilson, “The Office”) is a man with no filter. After a five-year exile to the traffic division for offensive behavior, he has returned from disgrace to lead Portland's newly minted S.C.U. Tasked with navigating the city's most sensitive and serious cases, he must solve each crime as he tries, and fails, to change his own self-destructive behavior.

To no one's surprise, Backstrom's return is far from well-received, especially by his commanding officer, Police Chief ANNA CERVANTES. Running the day-to-day operations of the S.C.U. is Detective NICOLE GRAVELY (Genevieve Angelson, “House of Lies”) the ambitious and optimistic yin to Backstrom's yang, she extends herself to the limit to counterbalance his erratic and controversial behavior. By her side is Detective Sergeant JOHN ALMOND (Dennis Haysbert, “24,” “The Unit”), a tested veteran of the Bureau who doesn't approve of Backstrom's xenophobic antics; although he tries to find the light in people, when it comes to Backstrom, he sees only darkness.

The group's forensics liaison is Sergeant PETER NIEDERMAYER (Kristoffer Polaha, “Ringer,” “Life Unexpected”), a handsome, free-spirited, philosophical man whose open approach to the universe pushes all of Backstrom's buttons. Managing the chain of evidence at S.C.U. headquarters is civilian support NADIA PAQUET (Beatrice Rosen, “The Dark Knight”), a beautiful French immigrant with a profound ability to navigate cyberspace. She also takes a liking to Backstrom and, at least technically, fills Backstrom's doctor's prescription to “make a friend.”

On the street, uniformed officer FRANK MOTO (Page Kennedy, “Blue Mountain State,” “Weeds.”) proves his value by suppressing the perpetrators and swiftly maneuvering around hostile conditions. Meanwhile, GREGORY VALENTINE (Thomas Dekker, “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”), who serves as Backstrom's tenant, decorator and underworld connection, has a genuine fondness for the abrasive cop.

Using his dark instincts and peculiar abilities, Backstrom always manages to outsmart his foes, manipulate his peers and, with the help of his eccentric team, solve the case, even as he less ably adjusts to the progressive sensibilities of 21st century Portland.

BACKSTROM is from Far Field Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series is created and written by Hart Hanson, and based on renowned Swedish criminologist and novelist Leif G.W. Persson's hit series of books of the same name. The series is executive-produced by Hanson, Kevin Hooks (“Last Resort,” “Detroit 1-8-7”), Persson, Niclas Salomonsson and Mark Mylod (“Shameless,” “Once Upon a Time”), who directed the pilot.

Ajme koja genijalnost! A tek maštovitost. On je detektiv. I genijalac! I ne zna pričat s ljudima i svi ga ne podnose, al je strašno uspješan pa ga zato svi trpe. Nikad dosad viđeno, jedva čekam.

Ovo bih cak mogla i pilotirati, moglo bi biti smijeha.

Službeno otkazano.

Backstrom won’t be back.

Fox has axed the Rainn Wilson-led procedural, creator Hart Hanson tweeted Friday.

The series was based on a series of Swedish novels about a cranky, eccentric detective who notices details others don’t.

Backstrom‘s season finale, which has become its series finale, aired on April 30. The episode had 2.8 million viewers and a 0.7 demo rating, down significantly from the series premiere (8 mil/2.0).
