Everyone!!! Look at this Chinese drama I stumbled upon 🤩

It is called Best Enemy. Chinese drama, un- subbed on dramacool, first two eps subbed on IQUYI for free! 36 eps total! (Only 11 out currently)

Let me give you the rundown:

Chinese republican drama? Yep!😝

CrimeSolving/Police? Mmm hmm! 😊

Bromance? Uh huh!! 😆

Minimal Romance? You know it 😉

Whump?!?! HELL YEAH 🤭

My initial take:

it’s freaking awesome. It actually checks all my boxes! The bromance is there, I like the story idea (friends to enemies to friends to enemies, to friends again trope 😁), the intro of the show is quite whumpy. I mean look at the first 5 mins of the first ep! This beauty had me hooked in seconds. THE BLOOD! THE GRAB AS THEY FALL! AHHHH.

(ignore the subtitles. They got weird when I started recording)

I had the pleasure of watching a beautiful Chinese crime drama called 'Under the Skin'. This was on someone's recommended list on Tumblr and I'm always excited to check out new shows and stories from Asian countries. Boldly I set out to start this show and what a beautiful ride it has been. Tan Jian Ci as Shen Yi and Jin Shi Jia as Du Cheng was truly a wonderful pairing.

There were so many stories surrounding women and involving women that I was surprised and happy to see how the cases were solved. There were some far reaching elements in the plot occasionally but then which crime drama doesn't have these unbelievable elements.

I loved this show because it brought into focus a side of investigation that we rarely see on screen - Portraitist, the one who sketches and brings to life the person from just a description. Shen Yi was a well rounded character with great motivation to do what he did as an artist and Du Cheng was equally compelling as the officer who strove to fight for justice.

These are some of the paintings and sketches Shen Yi drew and we see this in the last scene of the last episode. He kept a record of all the cases he was involved in and look how beautifully he brought out the pain and joy involved in each story.

And we were left with this cliffhanger and I heard there's a season 2 that they've been considering and talking about. I'd be delighted to watch season 2 of Under the Skin. If anyone wants to watch something different, give this show a chance.

A hearty thanks to @lurkingshan for the recommendation. I'll probably get to all the other recommendations soon.

How long can The Rookie be a rookie? After all, the show is now in its sixth season, which would make Nathan Fillion's character a veteran now, right? Well, not exactly -- at least, that's what Fillion says. As long as John Nolan keeps encountering new experiences in his life, Fillion said, he'll always be a "rookie."

The Rookie airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on ABC, and episodes start streaming the following day on Hulu.

Sarah Shahi in Life (2007-2009)

If you love Sarah Shahi in Black Adam (2022), you should definitely watch Life (2007-2009) where she plays an equally badass character as a detective, alongside her partner, played by Damian Lewis (Billions & Band of Brothers).

She plays Dani Reese, a previously undercover narcotics agent and now a recovering drug addict and alcoholic (thanks to her tough work and several betrayals as an undercover cop).

Damian Lewis plays Charlie Crews, who was imprisoned for many years after being framed for a crime he didn’t commit. He became Zen-like ever since his release, in search of inner peace while suppressing his anger.

Having lost his job, his wife, his friends, nearly all contact with the outside world and even his grip on reality for a time while in jail, he emerges enlightened by the philosophy of Zen which initially agitated his partner, Dani.

Instead of quitting the force, Charlie resumes his duty as a cop just so he could conduct his side investigation into the real culprit behind the crime he was punished for and discovers web of conspiracies and corruption within the force.

Dani was assigned to be his partner as the top brass wants to keep an eye of Charlie, knowing he is conducting his own investigation which might reveal an ugly truth that they do not want him to know.

Even though she herself is uncomfortable with her new partner, Dani backs Charlie up on numerous occasions, and the two slowly develop a bond and trust, that protect each other in their line of duty.

It’s the first Sarah Shahi’s show that I watched and I’ve been watching her other shows ever since. I first watch it because I love Damian Lewis performance in Band of Brothers but Sarah Shahi made the show better.

My only complain is that it’s only two seasons. It’s such an underrated crime drama with interesting cases, each episode is unique and intriguing in different ways making you puzzled and curious to know what really happened.

Leading TV historian and author, Oliver Crocker, pictured here with Jon Iles (DC Mike Dashwood in 194 episodes of The Bill from 1984), has over the past few years been compiling an incredibly detailed oral history of the The Bill from those who actually made it, including its stars, supporting talent and behind the scenes artists and technicians. The ITV (Thames) police drama ran for nearly 2500 episodes, from its pilot, Woodentop, in 1983 to its final episode in 2010. At its peak, it was watched by 18 million viewers in the UK. Jon Iles was the very first interviewee for the podcast series, and set things off to a very high standard.

In over 100 podcast episodes, Oliver has interviewed many of the major stars of the programme across its entire run, including Trudie Goodwin and Mark Wingett (above), Chris Ellison (DI Frank Burnside), Graham Cole (PC Tony Stamp), Eric Richard (Sgt Bob Cryer), Barbara Thorn (Insp Christine Frazer), Larry Dann (Sgt Alec Peters), Seeta Indrani (WPC Norika Datta); from some of the originals including Robert Hudson (Yorkie), Nula Conwell (Viv Martella), Colin Blumenau (Taffy) and Ashley Gunstock (PC Robin Frank), to stars of the later era including Todd Carty and Beth Cordingly. And many luminaries in between, from uniform and CID, too numerous to mention.

One or two have remained elusive - Jeff Stewart (Reg Hollis) has thus far declined, perhaps understandably as his departure from the series was deeply and personally traumatic. John Salthouse (DI Roy Galloway) declined the podcast but was very friendly and helpful with information for Oliver's first of two books on the series, Witness Statements: Making The Bill Series 1-3. (Witness Statements II is now also out).

The interviews are fascinating as pretty much all the participants have been breathtakingly honest; about producers and their behaviour and often brutal decision-making, and about the rollercoaster life of an actor even in a successful series. It's not always as much fun as it looks. Having said that, it was a happy cast which made a big effort to make guest stars and extras welcome, and it's interesting to note that the older, more experienced actors, playing CID and uniformed supervisors, tended to mentor the younger actors in the same way their real-life counterparts took care of junior officers.

Tony Scannell (DS Ted Roach) had agreed to be interviewed but sadly passed away before the recording date.

The Bill Podcast is on all the major platforms, and according to Listen Notes is in the top 1.5% of podcasts globally.

@robbielewis thought you might be interested in this one.

@catatonicrainbow recommended this Japanese Police Procedural to get through the days when I don't have any BLs to watch (because all the fricking shows are on the weekend) and believe me I was initially taken aback by the first episode. Except for Japanese BLs and anime I haven't watched much else from Japan, so it took me some time to get used to the conversation style, humor and characters. But after that first episode it was such a fun and beautiful ride. With just 11 episodes, it dives deep into various types of cases. I thought it would be the same as other police shows I've seen, but there was definitely something very different in this show. The basic premise was the same, but the way they tackled the cases, the passion and heart behind being a detective, the kind of stories they explored were so different. I loved the depth and growth of each character in this show. Where many shows stick to black and white, they gave us morally grey and there doesn't have to be a big reason for that.

Ayano Go as Ibuki Ai and Hoshino Gen as Shima Kazumi were wonderful as partners and carried the show really well. The supporting cast deserves a round of applause because they exceeded my expectations.

If you want something different and new from a police procedural, give this show a chance.
