SMALL Town Security. It’s the best show on TV that you aren’t watching and you should really change that.
Never heard of it?
Call in sick right now, get your ass on Netflix and settle in for a marathon.
You will never hear me say this about reality television, but this show is f*cking brilliant. Seriously. It proves that everyone has a story to tell and serves as a reminder that people are far more complex than we often give them credit…even if first impressions seem to indicate otherwise.
Never mind bizarre love triangles, Small Town Security is more like outrageous love octagons. Not only is there romantic entanglement but there’s a host of other trials and tribulations that put soap operas and telanovelas to shame, such as hoarding, transsexual issues, lifelong pursuits of stardom and it’s all rolled up and stuffed under the roof of JJK Security in Ringgold, Georgia.
To say I’m fascinated with this show is to put it mildly. It’s riveting to watch the interplay of these diverse individuals; to watch their seemingly mismatched and eccentric personalities bounce off each other in ways that should be disastrous to their relationships and business but somehow, against all odds, creates a family…yes, the family is a little on the dysfunctional side, but it’s a family nonetheless. I find it positively mesmerizing to witness.
