Amid the stew of castoff cable properties and vanity projects, a few new shows in the digital world are distinguishing themselves as clever, original, and produced with a specific audience in mind.
One of those is The Wrong Mans, Hulu's half-hour action-comedy… thing, co-produced with the BBC and starring creators Matthew Baynton and James Corden as Sam and Phil, a pair of guys with unimpressive careers in public works in a little English town who just happen to wander into a hostage-taking and handle it about as well as you'd expect.
Part of what makes the show so much fun to watch—apart from very high production values, which, again, are a giant relief given the way the rest of the "premium content" on the market looks—is that the leads are perfectly matched.
