Rutherford Falls, New York has an inconvenient statue of the town's founder in the middle of the road. Nathan Rutherford (Ed Helms) is desperately trying to maintain his ancestor's legacy and the statue in its place. His best friend Reagan Wells (Jana Schmieding) is trying to start her native American museum. It's the start of a culture war as native chief Terry Thomas (Michael Greyeyes) pushes to sue Nathan. Big city reporter Josh Carter (Dustin Milligan) smells a story.
It takes about four episodes before the show gets to something compelling. Terry Thomas has an amazing character explosion. This needs to lean harder on the Native American community. Reagan Wells has to be the central character even if Ed Helms has the bigger name. I love Terry Thomas and her. Ed Helms is nominally the lead, but his character should be a wacky town side character. The show figures it out eventually. Peacock cancels it after two seasons. When it's working at its best, this show deserves more.
