Ok, so what I'm looking for is something like Mr Brain, in the respect that the lead is someone who isn't a cop assists in solving crimes, generally because of their incredible intelligence or people-watching abilities or some sort, but I'd also like the lead to be.....weird, or...eccentric....or...'stupid" (seen by other people as stupid or lame [mentally], but is actually like, a savant), like, not normal, maybe most people can't really get along with them. Preferably the secondary lead would be a detective or a police officer in general, but that's not necessary, as long as their helping the police solve crimes or something similar.
I would prefer the show not be one of those, like, 3 or 4 episode series, at least 8-10 eps, but longer shows are fine (I watched all of Ugly Alert, twice). Any kind of genre/setting is fine, as long as crime solving is the general gist of the show (ancient china, near future Korea, current Japan, whatever) and as the title says, I would prefer if there was at least a noticable romance undertone, it doesn't need to be a primary focus or anything, but I would like for us to see it develop a little or know it's there.
The setting doesn't necessarily NEED to be crime solving, but at least something kind of similar, like mystery solving, or private eyes, or etc
Thank you for any time spent reading this.
