If you like your action-spy dramas like “The Americans” and “Homeland,” that is with serious political overtones and lots of high tension, then “Comrade Detective” probably isn’t for you. But if you love Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon-Levitt at their goofiest and are a fan of “Kung Pow! Enter the Fist” then you won’t be able to resist bingeing this new Amazon series.

As the hilarious first trailer makes very clear, “Comrade Detective” is the story of a hit 1983 Romanian buddy cop TV series that finds its way into Tatum and Gordon-Levitt’s hands. The two actors decide to bring the series to America, but not by starring in an adaptation themselves.

What easily could’ve been another version of the wacky comedy Step Brothers is instead a heart warming and realistic tale of a rivalry. While Cyrus does have plenty of comedic moments, it’s real life instead of a high-concept comedy. It fits perfectly in line with the previous Duplass brother films.
If you’re aware of the Duplass brothers shooting style then you know why Cyrus feels so genuine and honest. There’s not a single moment that “jumps-the-shark” when it comes to its grounding in realism. Everyone and every situation feels real.
