Synopsis:

In order to stay out of jail, Kate Patrick and her partner in crime is hired (read: blackmailed) by a mysterious government agent known only as Roberts. She must use all of her skills to help bring down criminals in and around South Beach without getting herself killed in the process. Some of these bad guys are big fish in the the oceans of crime and corruption, but Kate succeeds in doing all of this with such style and finesse that makes it seem almost effortless at times. And besides, what's the point of fighting the bad guys if you can't look good while doing it, right? :)

A super cool TV series! Highly entertaining stories. Magnificent scenery and photography accompanied by great music. Quality and often very funny dialogue. Great character interaction, especially between Kate and Roberts. Need I go on? :)
This show was what really made me a fan of Yancy. The fact that the show was made with her in mind shows, because she just shines like a beacon in it. What can I say? The creators brought out the very best in Yancy. I enjoyed watching every episode and will definitely watch them again in the future. I am sorry, but you cannot truly call yourself a fan of Ms. Butler if you have not seen South Beach! :)
