Keen Eddie is an American action, comedy-drama television series that aired in 2003 on the Fox Network. The series follows a brash NYPD detective who goes to London when one of his cases goes sour and remains to work with New Scotland Yard. The basic premise of the show bears a close resemblance to the popular 1980s British series Dempsey & Makepeace, the only notable difference being that the female partner has been replaced by a female housemate. Stylistically, the series derived inspiration from British feature films by Guy Ritchie, such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. The soundtrack and incidental music for the first episode was provided by British techno duo Orbital. Daniel Ash of Love and Rockets scored the rest of the series.

blanche-2 "Keen Eddie" was a sort-lived TV series, set in Britain and starring the hunky Mark Valley of Boston Legal and several other series. It also stars Sienna Miller, Julian Rhind-Tutt, and Colin Salmon, familiar to all fans of the Helen Mirren "Prime Suspect." Eddie (Valley) is an American detective assigned to Scotland Yard, where his out of the box maneuvers annoy his supervisor (Salmon). His partner (Rhind-Tutt) is a long-haired, solemn-faced guy who likes sex clubs; and Eddie's flatmate -- she's the landlady's daughter (Miller) is bothered by his presence and the presence of his dog, Pete.This is such a terrific show -- I loved it when it was on the air, and now I'm enjoying it on Netflix since I didn't see all the episodes. I love the characters, the acting, the stories, the humor, and the British setting. Valley is such an attractive man and so good, I have no idea why the series didn't stay on the air.There's a technique used in the editing - I'm sure there's a name for it - where there are split second images of something earlier in the episode, or something the character is thinking. Seeing it week to week, it's no problem, but watching it like I am, one after the other, it can give one a headache. That's my only complaint.I have no idea why a series that was so well-done couldn't last on American television. In thinking about it, I guess that's the problem -- it was too well done and not dummied down enough, I guess.
Andy Keen Eddie is the story of a NY detective working for the English police in London. Mercifully it doesn't hammer away at that weary old trope of 'You say taps, we say faucets'; cultural misunderstanding are kept to a minimum. It's interesting to see London caricatures represented for an American audience and again the production showed some restraint. I don't think that the English have ever got over Dick Van Dyke's performance as Bert the Cokernee chimney sweep in Mary Poppins.The principle cast were fine but story lines were highly truncated with little connective tissue between scenes. Nevermind, it's TV isn't it. Visually it owes something to Lock,Stock & 2SB's and Snatch and I found it more entertaining than either.It's a shame that a second series was dropped. The show had charm; quirky camera work, recurring characters, loads of good gags and a non American location. Perhaps an American audience didn't take to all the English accents. Unsurprising as shows shot in US cities have to undergo audience testing to see how it will go down east coast - mid-west or east coast.This show had loads of potential. I'm sad that I only have the one series on DVD.
tomulrich249 I agree that Keen Eddie was amazing. The sophistication, Eddie's ability or lack to coalesce with this coworkers. He just keeps irritating people in a most amiable way. His relationship with Fiona was too funny. The hate/hate/love/hate relationship between then along with the occasional sexual tension and never to be realized unrequited love aspect was quite amusing.FOX has to cancel anything that they don't have the hutzpah to promote. Keen Eddie would have been a blockbuster on nearly any other network. Though I must admit, I felt like I was the only one watching at times. Keen Eddie was full of so many things that I enjoy watching in the American blockhead on the English soil.
rube2424 KEEN EDDIE is a delightful series, filled with excellent writing, tonguein cheek editing, brisk directing and, most of all, terric charactersall excellently played. In this one Mark Valley is a disgraced New York cop who is reassigned toLondon. Valley is a wonderful, naturalistic actor who should be a muchbigger name than he is. Here he plays the part of a tough guy cop with ahumanistic twinkle giving the series, populated with eccentic Britishcharacters, its center. It's a terrifuc star turn, one I wish had beenseen more and appreciated.KEEN EDDIE, originally cancelled by FOX after only a few episodes, (butwhat do you expect from them-they also cancelled BOSTON PUBLIC!), hasbeen picked up by Bravo. Try to catch this terrific underrated showbefore it disappears altogther. Believe me, if you see it, you willalways remember it fo
