The Arrangement

Mexico's Miss Bala star Stephanie Sigman plays a Colombian fugitive courted by ambitious young Miami-Dade planning commissioner Bryan Greenberg as a politically expedient 'Green Card' partner. Dealing lightly with corruption, a glossy caper inspired by Elmore Leonard's story When the Women Come Out to Dance, with music pitched midway between sitcom and soap. The script isn't entirely serious either. "Say hello to my little friend," jokes Manolo Cardona. He's referring to the oversize telephoto lens on his Nikon. Despite the Florida setting, this is no Cat Chaser. The neat-and-tidy ending suggests this was intended as a pilot for a TV series. In any event, Ms Sigman is sensational, smart and sexy.

..this was the perfect set-up as a pilot for a future TV series.. it had all the interesting elements in play, and all actors involved in production we're well suited to their respective roles.. they laid down all the multiple story lines to be followed in each of the future episodes, ending it just at the perfect moment to proceed forward.. and all with interesting, involved characters we would have looked forward to following.. it's just too perfect a situation not to have been the case.. it was lots more complex and enticing than several of the many other south Florida TV series preceding it, and many of those ran for quite some time.. it's not the first time a good one got buried.. and for sure won't be the last... four years old... too late to resurrect?..
