New show that will premiere on Fox. Looks good to me (I like the cast) - hopefully Fox gives it a chance, but I will not get my hopes up. I am still disappointed that American Embassy didn't get more of a chance last year. At least this can be an alternative to reality tv this summer.

Series Premiere

"Even in darkness, a keen spirit discovers light." - a fortune cookie
EDDIE ARLETTE (Mark Valley) is a down-on-his-luck New York City police detective. Dumped by his girlfriend and responsible for a drug bust gone bad, Eddie is sent to England with his rambunctious dog Pete to clean up the mess he made during the botched narcotics sting.
From writer/producer J.H. Wyman, British film director Simon West and veteran television executive Warren Littlefield, comes the fast-paced, visually captivating hour KEEN EDDIE. Bursting with an array of kinetic storytelling devices such as jump cuts, split frames, flashbacks and flash-forwards, KEEN EDDIE is the fish out-of-water story of an American cop who is forced to go to London where he gets a chance to find himself - and recapture his lost dignity.
His humorous journey begins when he is forced to cohabit a flat with a sexy woman named FIONA BICKERTON (Sienna Miller). However, hopes of becoming friends -- and possibly more -- are quickly dashed when he realizes that his wry sense of humor and charm are easily matched by her razor-sharp tongue... and that she already has a boyfriend.
During Eddie's first week, he contends with a host of characters and unfortunate circumstances, which ultimately lead him to make a life-changing decision - either continue on this downward trajectory or get up and rediscover the world around him and his place in it.
Determined to make things right, Eddie is aided by seemingly straight-laced detective MONTY PIPPIN (Julian Rhind-Tutt) of Scotland Yard. Their adventure together begins as they navigate London's parties, pubs and nightclubs to track down a British chemist and the mysterious woman who set Eddie up back in New York. With every blunder and mishap, Eddie becomes more determined to capture those who are responsible and, more importantly, to redeem his tarnished reputation.
Perceiving Eddie as a potential asset, Scotland Yard's stern SUPERINTENDENT NATHANIAL JOHNSON (Colin Salmon), who makes no pretense for his unabashed ambition, offers Eddie a full-time position. Johnson disapproves of Eddie's tactics, but will turn a blind eye if it helps advance his own quest for power.
As for Eddie, he's only just scratched the surface in London, and feels that by remaining there, he just might find his true purpose in life.
KEEN EDDIE is produced by Frequency Films, Simon West Productions and The Littlefield Company in association with Paramount Network Television. KEEN EDDIE is executive produced by Wyman, West and Littlefield. J.H. Wyman is creator and writer.
