Mõned aastad tagasi avastasin "Hap and Leonard" sarja (loodud Lansdale raamatute põhjal), mida olen praeguseks kolm korda juba vaadanud.

She hires them to help find a million dollars from a 20-year-old bank heist believed to be in a car at the bottom of a river. Hap and Leonard take the gig and soon join forces with Trudy’s friends Howard, Chub, and Paco, all relics from the radical sixties.
