I was hoping we would see Rainn Wilson on his own series as Dwight the beet farmer following his success on The Office, but that was not to be. However, tomorrow night on Fox you can see Wilson in a new role as a brilliant yet disagreeable Portland detective in the new series Backstrom. Seeing Rainn Wilson as a jerk should not be a huge leap for many, though this new character is definitely darker than his last one.
Here is Wilson on his character in an article from USA Today:
He has no filter and he hates everyone. Stuff he says is going to come
out as racist, but he sees flaws in everyone...He hates no one more than he hates himself...I think people in general like to watch jerks because they see so many in their real lives.
So if you are in the mood for another police procedural, but this one with a familiar face, you may want to add this to your television line-up.
