Crime dramas rarely feel as chaotic, colorful, and culturally layered as South Florida itself. But RJ Decker, the new ABC detective series that premiered this week inspired by the novels of Carl Hiaasen, leans into that world completely, blending crime, humor, and the unpredictable energy that defines the region.
At the center of the show is RJ Decker, played by Scott Speedman, a disgraced journalist turned private investigator navigating a landscape of bizarre crimes, shady power brokers, and personal drama. And helping shape that unpredictable world are two characters played by Latina actresses Bevin Bru and Jaina Lee Ortiz, whose performances add emotional tension and a distinctly Latino texture to the series.
