McBride now lives in San Francisco’s Chinatown, where his sardonically loyal partner Patty (the brilliant, winsome Nimãng cầu Arianda) has a job at a big firm, và the show has stylish echoes of Chinatown and Rear Window. Billy"s intermittent hallucinations look cool, too. The superb supporting cast keeps getting better: Simmons is as sizzling as you’d expect, và does a tuy vậy and dance number that parodies the actual peppy TV ads that helped launch the opioid crisis.
