Meet Jonathan Ames: writer, romantic, and unlicensed private detective. HBO presents Season 1 of this comedy series that follows the life of this noir-fiction-obsessed writer (played by Jason Schwartzman of Rushmore fame) who impulsively lists his gumshoe services on the Internet in the wake of a painful breakup. Each episode follows the quirky Jonathan as he is surprisingly hired by an assortment of desperate clients for a variety of amusing cases — which he pursues while avoiding working on his second novel and writing for the magazine run by his eccentric boss George (Ted Danson). Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) co-stars as Jonathan's droll cartoonist pal Ray.
