Matt Roush says...

Scott Speedman’s sleepy-eyed, laid-back persona is a good fit with the “Florida Man” sensibility of mystery-comedy writer Carl Hiaasen. His book Double Whammy introduced and inspired Speedman’s title character of RJ Decker, a former news photographer who’s reinventing himself as a shaggy-dog private eye after spending 18 months in prison. RJ Decker joins ABC’s night of unorthodox procedurals (Will Trent and High Potential), upping the quirkiness factor with details including Decker’s current home, a trailer on the edge of a giant sinkhole, and a messy personal life including an ex (Rectify‘s Adelaide Clemens) whose wife (Bevin Bru) is a detective who’s no fan of RJ’s methods. Station 19 alum Jaina Lee Ortiz co-stars as the seductive Emi, a new complication in Decker’s life. His first case involves a murder that echoes the death of one of Decker’s former newspaper colleagues. Just because he favors tropical shirts and looks like he just rolled out of bed is no reason to underestimate the guy.
