Yet again a great show that didn't get picked up! The show is charming, witty, sarcastically funny and entertaining as hell! I hope somebody with some influence watches it feels the same way and decides to make a new season!
I strongly suspect that the 1 star ratings dragging this show down have something of an axe to grind. I had never heard of Russell Peters before, so I neither had any bias against nor expectations of the show. I found the first season to be entertaining and engaging. A light-hearted cop show, well written and well paced. If this rates 1 star there are an awful lot of shows out there that deserve black holes.
Not sure about the cultural implications, if any. But for an outsider the series was interesting and cosy detective series - like. Seen it a while ago, so details may be less clear. An indian detective, as the title says, goes back to his father and gets in the middle of some events that need investigating, with leads that take him to a powerful businessman, if I remember correctly. The main character has to adjust to being targeted by corrupt villains, and to the street ways, which are different from what he knows about doing his job. He is naive here and there, due to the rough environment. The father is intriguing and funny, the love interest left me waiting for the second season, yet to come to this date. The lead actor comes from standup and has an attractive, particular style. A series to try if you like lighter, atmospheric detective shows. And comedy.
We can't imagine why there are so many harshly negative reviews of this show. It's easily one of the most entertaining Canadian shows currently streaming. Doug, his father and Dattu, Priya and his partner back in Canada are all really likable characters, characters I'd love to see more of. The show has a unique setting (India & Canada), good storyline and entertaining lead and supporting cast. Ignore the naysayers and watch The Indian Detective.
It's a comedrama mystery folks, funny, set in Canada and India and the characters are great to watch... we watched to season in a couple of nights and would tune in again if they made more...
