Rashida Jones stars as "Angie Tribeca" in this new, satirical comedy TV series. It's a funny crime show that parodies other shows like "Law & Order", "NYPD Blue", and "CSI". In fact, the opening theme song is similar to that song by The Who, "Who Are You" track from the original "CSI" series. This show was actually created and produced by Steve Carell and his wife, Nancy Carell (Both starred in "The Office" together). This show also stars some unknown actors as well as Hayes MacArthur, who's career has had trouble taking off. He had some small parts in TV shows like, "King of Queens", "How I Met Your mother", "Entourage", "Perfect Couples", etc., He really got noticed after playing small roles in popular movies such as, "She's Out of My League", and "Lower Learning". So, he finally got a starring role in the comedy film, "Someone Marry Barry" in 2014.
Now he's got a starring role alongside Rashida Jones as her "partner" in this off-beat, hilarious, detective-comedy. It Reminds me of other parody shows like "NTSF:SD:SUV" and "Childrens Hospital". To sum up this series in one word, it would be...CAMEO! There are so many celebrity cameos in this first season. Including, James Franco, Lisa Kudrow, Heather Graham, Adam Scott, Jon Hamm, Ryan Hansen, John Michael Higgins, Kerri Kenney, David Koechner, Gary Cole, Danny Pudi, Keegan Michael Key, Danny Trejo, Gene Simmons, Amy Smart, Sarah Chalke, Jeff Dunham, Bill Murray, and even show creator, Nancy Carell. This is a hilariously silly and random series from the mind of Steve Carell, and Rashida Jones does a brilliant job playing detective "Angie Tribeca"
