Quite entertaining
Low-budget web series, featuring a female "celebrity constable" and a young man who randomly joined her one day to begin solving murders and flirting. There is a slight gender bender element where ML is smart yet weak while FL smart and more action-oriented. She even has a fan club consisting of rich young men of the city. Its tone is generally light but sincere, punctuated with cartoonish humor.Pros: Strong and smart FL lead. At 12 episodes of ~30 min each, the pace is snappy, with minimum filler. All the characters reveal a deeper side to themselves as the plotlines develop. And best of all, NO weepy silly female characters.
Cons: Smartness in this series comes at the expense of everyone else being dumb. The cases aren't clever: ML and FL's crime-solving analyses are at about kindergarten-cop level. Viewers will be leaps and bounds ahead of them.
Overall verdict: Despite the cons, this series is competently executed and quite entertaining; the actors were good enough and did their best with what they had to work with. As someone who drop series at the drop of a hat, I watched the whole thing from beginning to end ;)
