Witness Protection (D)

Six cops guard a star witness in a house in the suburbs and their biggest danger comes not from the mob discovering where they are but whether they’ll drive each other crazy before their time is up. There’s hyper-critical and hypoglycemic Fred, anal retentive and annoying Chris, domesticated and depressing Ned, dramatic and traumatic Kass, career cop Edgar who questions if being a cop is all that it’s cracked up to be, and young, handsome, and naive, Steve. Combine them all with dipsy Sally who doesn’t know that the reason for being sequestered is to not go outside, and you’ve got the makings of a community meltdown and “Witness Protection.” A single location comedy drama about people with divergent traits and personalities having to cope with each other. Writer: Jon Brekke. Pages: 102.
