Comrade Detective

[chiqui]

Is anyone else watching this pastiche of "What's Up, Tiger Lily" type comedically dubbed 1980s cop show from Romania? A purportedly 1980s cop show from Romania -- the producers actually filmed the whole thing in the present day, in Romania, with Romanian actors. It's like an extended skit from Mad TV.

I am entertained, but the production values are often too slick and the video doesn't have that faded, dirty quality of old TV shows, and it breaks the illusion. It's still fun though.

Thanks for mentioning this, chiqui! I found it on our Roku, and it's free with Amazon prime. I just watched at bit of the first episode, but I think I'll really like it. I really enjoy Jon Ronson, and he introduces it, along with Channing Tatum.

We watched the first ep yesterday and will probably stick with it, at least for a few more eps.
