SMALL TOWN SECURITY
Show: Small Town Security
Network: AMC
Premier date: Premiered July 15; airs on Sundays
Why You Should Watch: After a slew of hit dramas including Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and The Killing, AMC has struck gold of a different kind with this oddly alluring new unscripted series. The show centers on quirky and outspoken Joan Koplan (a former actress and talk show host) and her small, family-owned private security company located in rural Georgia. Koplan's right-hand man is Lt. Dennis Croft, a fascinating man with a military background determined to turn JJK — a small-town, family-run security and private investigation agency — into an elite force. Croft, we learn halfway through the episode, is transgender, but just as Koplan is compelling, Croft is so fascinating that the fact he once inhabited a female body isn't nearly the most interesting thing about him. And Joan, and her little Chihuahua, are probably among the most indescribably fascinating characters on TV today.
