Frank is a former police officer who was fired after he uncovered corruption within the force. Now as an animal control officer, he seems to be cynical and prefers to work alone, however, he got a new partner Fred "Shred". Shred is a former snowboard champion and is trying to learn everything he can about being an animal control officer. He's also trying to be a good partner to Frank and sort of win him over. But Frank is not interested at all and he's trying his best to get rid of Shred. It's easy to see that they're an odd couple, the cynical experienced one partnered with the wide-eyed newbie. As the episode moved along you can see Frank really trying to get rid of Shred and the ostrich emergency worked out in his favor. Because Shred was so mad that he wanted to transfer to a different station. What I like is that after that Frank sort of started to let down his guard and you could see that having Shred as a partner wouldn't be such a bad idea. I think these two are going to work out pretty well together.

As for another odd couple, animal control partners Amit Patel and Victoria Sands also work well together despite their life stage differences. Where Amit is a nervous yet easy going guy who's married, has children and two pets, Victoria is single and not ready to settle down. She said she wanted a pet and got a chance to get a dog from one of their emergencies but in the end she wasn't ready for even that type of commitment. I like this duo, they really compliment each other but they're also really quirky.

Last out of the group is Emily Price who I believe is the manager or supervisor, she's sweet and kind and quirky but also a little bit of a doormat. Although she doesn't feel like she's right for the job (she is), she's also slightly easily manipulated, for instance the gang had talked her into buying equipment they really don't need such as a panni maker and espresso machine. She also seems to have a bit of a crush on Shred but just when it seem like it might be mutual, he got a call from his girlfriend. It does make me wonder if somewhere down the line something will happen between them. Because they do seem like they would be great together especially since they're both two dorky and adorable do-gooders.

So far I really like Animal Control and I think it has the potential to be a really good show. I hope it will get the chance to not only find its stride but also to find viewers. I also really like these characters, they're weird and I want to know more about them. I'm looking forward to watching the second episode because the first one was actually pretty good.
