Interior

Or a racecar driver.

Where the only question you ask yourself at the end of the day is if you're gonna knock back your cold one at Swanky's Spanky's or Zingers.

Press Reviews

"Packed with nonchalant theatrics and smoldering intensity. Bos, Thureen, and Butler have woven an accomplished yarn."
— BackStage

"Wistful and sweet and uncanny. The delightful, oddly delicate Buddy Cop 2 is steeped in Christmas cheer. FOUR STARS. Critics' Pick."
— Time Out New York

"Wonderfully entertaining. Funny, Charming, and perfectly pitched."

"Set in the 1980s, this downtown gem, full of minor-key revelations and offhand epiphanies, roots its quirky charm in an earnest and surprising realism.

— The New York Times
