Irreverent

 From Midwich Cuckoos to The Last Resort to Lazarus project and this month... THE IRREVERENT television series that make us tune in to our TV every Sunday at 6 pm on Showcase. Why not? It's something unusual, the story or plot is somewhat brand new as in haven't seen any story like it. There is no similarity with other movies, shows or series  I already watched.

THE IRREVERENT is a story of a criminal mediator named Paulo (Colin Donnel) who lives in Chicago, USA. However due to an anomaly he got involved in a criminal act, he was able to escape, boarded a plane and happened to met a man wearing the black robe, he's a priest.The priest is Mackenzie was talkative and friendly, chatty and wants to engage Paul in every opportunity to find out who he is. They got drunk but the priest was not drunk enough and when Paulo woke up all his belonging were taken by the supposedly priest who is a thief. Mackenzie left his cassock (black robe) the only clothing he can wear and a pair of hotel's slippers. The next scenes were, finding the village somewhere in Queensland where Mackenzie is supposed to be working as the village's clergyman. Paul on the way to the village, driving the black hearse, being sleepy and tired had an accident and hit the electric post and he ended up in jail. The female police officer Piper, didn't waste no time but shoot mugshot of Paulo and jailed Paulo, it seems that she is not convinced of Paulo's identity as a "clergyman." That was the first episode. The next episodes were sort of more disturbing, complicated and mostly damage control, good that Cameron & Daisy are on his side to help him after Paulo helped them from being punched by two thugs when Daisy accidentally got hold of the box of sealed raw tobacco leaves.

As a mediator, Paulo was very experienced in this kind of problem...he is a negotiator. Only few hours of how to solve difficult situation. It's the role of highly skilled individuals, witty, informative and maybe had been a psychologist/psychiatrist or master of behavioural science and got knowledge for damage control. Where Paul is getting his finance in all those expenditures? I first thought all his money were stolen from him by Mackenzie. You'll find that out in next episodes: Louts & Fishes + 3rd episode: Ashes To Ashes.

Every episode of the IRREVERENT is complicated. It's like a raging volcano is always throwing or hurling molten rocks and whether to shield yourself or just hit the rock back to the angry volcano.
