Strip away the so-called “ swamp noir,” a label describing the East Texas twang born of a meeting between arid and sultry. Melanie Mcfarland at SALON discusses the series in “Me and you ain’t you and her”: How “Hap and Leonard” challenges TV’s portrayal of masculine friendship. She may laugh off Leonard pissing in drug dealer Melton’s face (as does much of the neighborhood), but she won’t suffer raunchy talk at her breakfast table. Hall’s elderly matriarch MeMaw is a real scene-stealer. There are some genuinely funny moments between Hap and Leonard, but Irma P. What matters is that Purefoy and Williams continue to work so well together.Ĭrime shows like Hap and Leonard may truck in violence, but a lot of their success also resides in humorous beats. And while I may be missing Christina Hendricks, this episode certainly doesn’t suffer from her absence. I’m expecting more of the same this time around. Six episodes may not seem like enough, but the first season covered a lot of ground in only six hours. Zapanta enjoys the first episode of SundanceTV’s HAP AND LEONARD: MUCHO MOJO.
