The Unusuals is an American comedy-drama television series created by Noah Hawley. It aired on ABC from April 8 to June 17, 2009 in the United States, and Global in Canada. The series follows the duo of detectives in the New York City Police Department's fictional 2nd Precinct, many of whom have their own eccentricities and secrets. The series ran for one season.[1]
Premise
Detective Casey Shraeger transfers from Vice to the New York City Police Department's 2nd Precinct to work at Sergeant Harvey Brown's station.[2] Her new partner is Jason Walsh, whose previous partner was killed the same night Casey was assigned to him. Casey was chosen because Brown believes her to be incorruptible, since she comes from a wealthy family and chose to work for the police from a sense of doing good, rather than for money. Casey recruits her new partner in search of Walsh's ex-partner's killer. He was known to be corrupt, but he was investigating others at the 2nd Precinct, particularly Henry Cole who once lived by another name and robbed an armored car. Cole's partner, Allison Beaumont, is identified as Walsh's girlfriend. Besides Shraeger, Walsh, Beaumont and Cole, the station has three detectives: Leo Banks, who wears a bulletproof vest everywhere he goes, because he is afraid he will die, as his father, grandfather and uncle did; Banks' partner Eric Delahoy, who has a brain tumor (causing hallucinations) but refuses to notify anyone, for fear that treatment could kill or cripple him; and Eddie Alvarez, who sees himself as a "lone wolf" and talks about himself in the third person. The show's ending left the question of Delahoy's fate unresolved.
