Review of Comrade Detective

Well produced but the dubbing to English is too off putting to make it anything more than just passing entertainment. The creation story is ridiculous and only serves to remind you that it is only two steps up from an Adam Sandler or a Rock production. The producers should have recognized that TV audiences are more perceptive to being manipulated and have a growing resentment to it. That they didn't is a shame. The dubbing to English has so many off notes that you spend most of the time thinking of what could have been. If they hadn't dubbed, it would be a nice series–similar to Life on Mars (vintage/throwback) or the first season of The Sniffer (import detective series). Certainly not as good as Bordertown but enough to be entertaining.
