A Rom-Com Crime Drama with a Gangster-Cop Love Story

This is a BL that is more about its plot than it is about the queer romance of the two leads. I mean the twists you can see coming from a mile away. However, the acting is first-rate. The redemption arcs are well done. This story in the anthology series jumps between a serious crime drama and a truly hilarious rom-com. The side BL couple is just so much fun. I don't think they are necessary to the plot, but I love the eccentric Jack and the super naive/innocent police officer dynamic. The naive cop is a grandma's boy, has never dated anyone, and still has stuffed animals in his bed. He also will just walk on his hands in a scene just because its fun.

I also liked this show because it definitely moves beyond stereotypes, especially the queer stereotypes.

This series arc in the HIStory anthology was truly a blast.
