welcome to Detective Review part 2!

where i once again rate entertainment value of my fav fictional detectives

in this SPECIAL EDITION i will be focusing exclusively on detectives found on netflix streaming service. Let's go!

-

Sofia Karppi & Sakari Nurmi

from: Deadwind (2018) type: police detectives

feral woman and a guy with neat hair. they hate each other. she has a crumbling mother-daughter relationship. the investigation has connections to Germany. the guy gets irradiated. 7/10

-

Naia Thulin & Mark Hess

from: The Chestnut Man (2021) type: police detectives

feral woman and a guy with neat hair. they hate each other. she has a crumbling mother-daughter relationship. the investigation has connections to Germany. Wait, hold on! i hear you cry. Does the guy get irradiated? no, he doesn't. 8/10

-

Nadia Vulvokov & Alan Zaveri

from: Russian Doll (2019) type: loop prisoners

Does it count if they aren't real detectives? Who cares, they sure investigate and they sure entertain! That's all you really need, isn't it. 8/10

-

Bill Tench & Holden Ford

from: Mindhunter (2017) type: fbi agents

i'm gonna be honest with y'all, i watched this 4 years ago and the whole time i was looking at Cameron Britton. i don't remember much about these two. my bad. i liked them tho! at one point the younger one had a Realisation and fell to the floor. hope he's fine. 7/10

-

Briggs

from: Pop Squad (episode of Love Death and Robots, season 2) type: population control officer

sad man type. brooding. crème de la crème of the type. 8/10

-

Kaiman & Nikaido

from: Dorohedoro type: hospital part-timer and a cook

besties on a quest murdering together. great duo, with solid teamwork and convoluted investigation. 10/10

"In the funny, terrifying, colorful, oddly lovely, lovably odd Dead Boy Detectives, premiering Thursday on Netflix, deceased putative teenagers Edwin (George Rexstrew) and Charles (Jayden Revri) investigate what’s troubling troubled ghosts...."

Detco movies rated based on how much shit gets exploded / destroyed

The Time-Bombed Skyscraper - the whole premise is about blowing up stuff, but it's shame no trains got got, 7/10

The Fourteenth Target - it's just an underwater restaurant that is pretty out of the way from anything else and we have no prior attachment to. bonus for the helicopter crash, 5/10

The Last Wizard of the Century - an entire castle does get burned down, but it's no explosion, 6/10

Captured in Her Eyes - just some regular old murder, 0/10

Countdown to Heaven - truly a 9/11 movie. point detracted for leaving the second tower intact, 8/10

The Phantom of Baker Street - the entire thing takes place in VR, so it shouldn't even count, but no one even gets their brain blown up :( 0/10

Crossroad in the Ancient Capital - somehow nothing gets bombed or destroyed? Conan tries a little arson but is unsuccessful, -1/10

Magician of the Silver Sky - a plane gets somewhat mistreated, 2/10

Strategy Above the Depths - a whole damn ship sinks, it's all very dramatic, 9/10

The Private Eyes' Requiem - despite the constant threat of exploding people, barely anything gets exploded. half a point for Kid using a gun on some windows, 1.5/10

Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure - i guess they do find that ancient pirate ship and it immediately falls apart, 5/10

Full Score of Fear - plenty of shit gets blown up including a concert hall while no one inside realizes anything's wrong. you'd think they'd have some fire warning system in place, 10/10

The Raven Chaser - sadly no explosions, but the tower gets shot at hard, and the helicopter does not end up fine, tho no actual crash on screen, 5/10

The Lost Ship in the Sky - only a research facility we don't care about gets exploded in the opening, and that airship barely gets scratched up, 4/10

Quarter of Silence - we have a train exploding out of a tunnel, a dam blown to smithereens, and an avalanche, what more could you want, 10/10

The Eleventh Striker - who can say no to some exploding stadiums, great movie for people who hate football, 8/10

Private Eye in the Distant Sea - just a rando ship at the beginning, who cares, 1/10

Dimensional Sniper - some police cars and incredibly light bombing of the tower, eh, 3/10

Sunflowers of Inferno - a cool museum gets absolutely demolished, the burning fake sunflowers are a lovely image, plus we got some proper plane mistreatment, 10/10

The Darkest Nightmare - both an explosive car crash at the beginning and a ferris wheel gets extremely destroyed, 9/10

The Crimson Love Letter - lots of explosions, and in beautiful scenery too, 10/10

Zero the Enforcer - destroying shit with a satellite is pretty imaginative, but there was not as much destruction as i hoped, 7/10

The Fist of Blue Sapphire - they're surfing on some iconic Singaporean landmarks, meanwhile an oil ship freely wrecks shit, 11/10

The Scarlet Bullet - i fully admit i have no idea what Masumi and Conan were trying to do, both the train and station ended up looking pretty rough. 10/10

The Bride of Halloween - for a movie about bombs not all that much significant shit gets destroyed, but they do go out in style at least. bonus points for covering Shibuya in goo, 9/10

#warning: not spoiler free #no movie 26 bc i have not seen it yet 😭😭💀 #anyway. i put way too much effort into this tbh #detective conan #kostek original #kostek reviews

the true detective reddit is primarily full of haters but this post did make me laugh

#i was browsing the theories and unfortunately there's a lot of posts like 'wahhh this show is woke now and i hate it' #which is bizarre because wasn't mahershala ali the lead last season…why weren't they mad about that?? #anyway #what i really would like to find is some reviews/analyses by indigenous fans but i haven't found that yet #true detective night country #lulu speaks #lulu watches things #lulu watches true detective night country

Review: Dead Boy Detectives [Season 1]

Audience: 16+

Stars: 4.7/5

dear radish,

I LOVED this show. I felt so alive at the end of it. Go watch it!!!

Things I loved:

Found family

Tied to the Sandman universe but tells its own story in such a wonderful, engaging way

The way our titular dead boy detectives Edwin and Charles have been through the meat grinder, but still want to help others. The way they keep each other afloat omg. Precious.

A LOVE TRIANGLE THAT I ACTUALLY DON'T HATE OMG. I know who I'm rooting for though ;)

The way it doesn't shy away from depicting violence. Because the world IS brutal, even as there's pieces of light in it.

Crystal finding strength through the past women of her family. Loss of memories as a metaphor for how the slave trade stripped Black Americans of their history and identity (maybe). And the empowerment that comes with reconnecting with one's roots/lineage.

Pacing. Look, I admit it. I'm someone who often watches shows at 2x speed. Well buddy, this show moved so fast that I felt no such compulsion to speed it forward. Possibly because the show's creators needed to fit so much within just 8 episodes. But they pulled it off!

Niko's room is full of manga and anime posters, and I loved that for her.

Spoilers:

I HOPE NIKO COMES BACK IN SEASON 2 ARGHHHHHH.

WAS THE GUY IN THE FISH DESTRUCTION???

Night Nurse redemption arc I'm readyyyyyyy

CHARLES IS A BI-KING CHANGE MY MIND

First novel!

UNBOXING! With my cat Darwin to help. Just got the ARC for my book (coming out with Harper Collins this winter). It’s a mystery novel—sort of gothic, with murder and crumbling estates—and the protagonist is neurodivergent! (I’m autistic, myself). Ready for an openly ND citizen-detective? Message me if you’d like an ARC (I have 25 of them). Preview video on my YouTube https://youtu.be/ryJC_w-orzo?si=mXX36CE46wqrcI88

Ever since millionaire detective ended I've been craving a new detective anime. I miss you daisuke kambe.

I finally got my wish; Ron Kamonohashi Forbidden Deductions is pretty amazing.

It follows Toto our main guys and the genius former detective Ron.

There's just something about seeing the light come back into his eyes that's amazingly beautiful.

10/10.

I just finished my (???) rewatch of season 1 and I’m restarting season 4 and I genuinely think I have developed a narrative that explains the supernatural elements and it started because I WAS GOING THROUGH MY BOOKSHELF TODAY FOR INSPO TO WRITE THIS FUCKING FIC AND I OPENED A BOOK I HAVE NEVER READ— WHICH I BOUGHT IN A CREEPY SECOND HAND STORE YEARS AGO BTW— AND UPON SKIMMING I OPENED TO A PAGE WITH A HORNED GOD

AND THEN I STARTED RESEARCHING AND I SWEAR TO GOD I HAVE A THEORY I SWEAR TO GOD IM ON SOME SHIT RIGHT NOW IM PROCESSING BY SPEWING NONSENSE AT MY FRIEND BUT I SWEAR ITS GONNA MAKE SENSE

#I’m gonna have to consult the academically reviewed resources #Reddit and Wikipedia #but I don’t think anyone has threaded the theory to completion AND IM FLOSSING MY FUCKING TEETH WITH IT #RIGHT NEEEEOOOOW #holy fuck holy fuck once I get this fully formed im going to create the most incomprehensible Reddit post #fuck fuck fuck #rust cohle #true detective season 1 #true detective season 4 #I see everything #I SUHWEAAAR IM ONTO SOMETHING MAJOR #JUST GIMME ANOTHER WEEK CAPTAIN #mentally I’m a chain smoking detective that’s stabbing my thumb meat on a push pin #FUCKKKK #I can’t wait to get downvoted #I can’t wait for a 43 year old divorced father to tell me I’m a moron #trash bin tag

[forgotten-daydreamer]

not to be a hater, but... what's dead boy detectives?? like... i don't know if it actually has to do with detectives but... it's almost as if dc already had... many... detectives... as if they had a wholeass family who's specialised in detective work...

#dc comics #dead boy detectives #i've read the first reviews and... it doesnt seem great. is it worth it? #batfam #batfamily

Witt took care of that other guy a little too handily, like he's had some experience covering up crimes...

LMAO! The air quotes!

Aaahhh!!! Detective Luna!

I'm here for all of the hair jokes!

Poor Cap thinking Kelly is pregnant.

Uh, Stella, talking to your dad about a criminal is not rash. When did Sadie become the responsible one?

Ooh, an old-fashioned stand-off!

Awe, Augie was so sweet there! But also, that's an alarming amount of trauma for two teenagers.

Poor Cap (continued). His rangers and his wife have been lying to him, and the Jackal is back.

Love the callback to Stella and Augie chatting while lying down. Especially loved Augie's "August Walker." A few more years and he can add "Texas Ranger" to that introduction!

That final shot of the all the rangers at the crime scene... beautiful and heartbreaking.

team chaotix is so funny vector's really like "yeah i make sure this kid brushes his teeth and doesn't hurt himself playing with scissors and held his hand as he took his first steps and was there when he said his first word and tuck him in at eight pm almost every night. we're coworkers <3"

#PLEASE sdgkjsk 😭 #vector bouncing baby charmy on his knee: your detective skills are a little lackluster so you should work on improving that. #your people skills are great when applied correctly but your organization leaves a lot to be desired. #i hope to see some improvement by next month's employee performance review. #charmy: :O #i love their relationship god. catch me sobbing at the metal virus arc every time. #that's his baby brother your honor! #vector the crocodile #charmy bee #family tag #mine
