High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Keen Eddie is an action, comedy-drama television series, first aired in 2003, about 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to the popular 1980s British series Dempsey & Makepeace, the only notable difference being that the female partner has been replaced by a female housemate.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 Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, both written and directed by Guy Ritchie. The soundtrack and incidental music for at least the first episode was provided by British techno duo Orbital.
