Feels like a fever dream. Someone here posted about that short-lived FX series ‘The Riches’ which starred Eddie Izzard, and out of the memory hole popped this show.
It was like a dark comedy about a hitman that was shot in the face and had reconstruction surgery. I only ever caught the first 2 or 3 episodes because I was on vacation the weekend it premiered, and I had never been able to find it again.
I watched it when it was coming out and really liked it. It's a shame that it's only 6 episodes and ends on a cliffhanger, but i think they intentionally ended on a cliffhanger to parody other crime shows that get cancelled. Never saw anywhere the show got cancelled so i think this was always the intention as a mini series
Edit: looking up the show and seeing that it was made by the guy that made sledgehammer makes the cliffhanger ending make sense now because sledgehammer ended their first season with the city getting destroyed by a nuclear bomb because they didn't think they'll get renewed, but then they did. The second season starts by saying that the events of season 2 happened five years before season 1

No I don’t remember it.
BUT the entire series dvd set is on Hamilton book’s website rn for $2.00
Threw it onto my last order as an impulse purchase. If it sucks at least I get a spare case, but hopefully it’s good.
