‘The Inspectors’
A video monitor shows Jessica Lundy, star of “The Inspectors.”
The Postal Inspection Service, one of the nation’s oldest law enforcement agencies, is getting its own television show.
CBS will air “The Inspectors” Saturdays at 10:30 a.m., beginning Oct. 3. The half-hour scripted drama is geared toward a general audience.
“‘The Inspectors’ is a story that allows us to have a vessel to teach the American public about … what an Inspector does day in and day out,” said Dave Morgan, the show’s creator.
The series stars Jessica Lundy as Postal Inspector Amanda Wainwright, who leads a team that focuses on consumer fraud and other postal crimes. Wainwright’s teenage son, Preston (Brett Green), works as an intern at the forensic crime lab.
“It’s so important for us to be accurate and to … educate the public on what it is they’re doing, which is a vital service to all of us,” said Lundy.
Each episode will conclude with a crime-prevention message from Chief Postal Inspector Guy Cottrell, delivered in the style of Efrem Zimbalist Jr. during the 1960s series “The F.B.I.”
“The Inspectors” grew out of the Consumer Alert News Network, a series of Postal Inspection Service consumer-awareness TV spots that began in 2012.
Very enjoyable!!
Folks,
Been waiting for this show for months but did not see anything materialize. By the description given it seems serious but no one even saw any show with postal content content or its presence. Probably I missed it!
We need a change in attitudes towards the Federal workers that encourages adherence to the Laws on the book. Carriers are mostly good persons doing a difficult job and just need better appreciation.
If crime is being committed, then a full measure of the laws against those committing crimes against this public trust. Carriers are held at a higher standard as is the OIG (Office of Inspector General) and must comply.
Acts against the postal services; individuals or organization must not break that trust. Do and pay the price!
All clients are to have their privacy and security respected. Waiting for show to materialize.
Will be watching!
I was expection the show to be lame, but it was actually good! Actors are much better than I expected.
My son told me about this show. He helped with the set for a week when they were filming in Charleston. It was a great experience for him & I am looking forward to seeing the show.
