Just read the first ten and loved it! Greatly scripted thus far and the characters are amusing.

I Like it a lot. in fact I'm going to read it again.  I also have a series of shorts on two characters from my 8-book Dan Marlowe/Hampton Beach, NH Crime Series.  Eddie Hoar & Derwood Doller are two bumbling, low-life beach hustlers.I don't like farce in  yourlog line, though.  How about blundering, bumbling or other, instead?  I'll let you know any other thoughts after 2nd read through. later today or tomorrow.
Best,

INT. POLICE BREAK ROOM - NIGHT

Two grubby redneck brothers, DARYL (38) and DAX (35), sit
beside each other at a table. Quiet. Unmoving.

A cigarette hangs from Daryl’s lips. Dax fondles a zippo.

Detectives, Glenn (45) and Kelley (44), sit opposite.
Documents surround their space. Kelley presses record and
slides his tape recorder to the center of the table.

Daryl takes a puff and leans in--



You need to CAP GLEN and KELLY when first intro'd.

Are these there first or last names?

Are they male or female?

Well, this never got made as a movie, but we did end up writing it into a novel!
