About this show
A new comedy set within a police interrogation. When Tim is brought in for questioning, he knows he's in for the third degree. But nothing can prepare him for what the desperate detectives have in store! From cops undercover to rehashed routines, from skittish psychologists to a problematic polygraph, watch the insane interrogation unfold, as the police pull out every trick in the book to get Tim's confession! Will they succeed? Or will Tim walk free? And are there more secrets at play? Who else has something they need to confess?
