Comrade Detective - Season 1
TrailerIn the thick of 1980's Cold War hysteria, the Romanian government created the country's most popular and longest-running series, Comrade Detective, a sleek and gritty police show that not only entertained its citizens but also promoted Communist ideals and inspired a deep nationalism. The action-packed and blood-soaked first season finds Detectives Gregor Anghel and Joseph Baciu investigating the murder of fellow officer Nikita Ionesco and, in the process, unraveling a subversive plot to destroy their country that is fueled by-what else-but the greatest enemy: Capitalism.Actors: Channing Tatum, Florin Piersic Jr., Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Corneliu Ulici, Jenny Slate, Olivia Nita, Nick Offerman, Adrian Paduraru, Jake Johnson, Ion Grosu, Jason Mantzoukas, ...»Director: Rhys ThomasCountry: United StatesDuration: 40 minQuality: HDRelease: 2017IMDb: 7.20 CommentsSort By- Newest

Critic Reviews of "Comrade Detective - Season 1"
Sydney Morning HeraldAugust 17, 2017And yet for all its off-the-wall wackiness and occasionally rococo caricatures, Comrade Detective is, in its own unique way, quite a serious little bit of telly.
The AustralianAugust 07, 2017This six-episode series is meant to make us question the ways propaganda and slogans can infiltrate and influence society; a timely message wrapped tightly within an effective comedic conceit.
indieWireAugust 04, 2017It slips in commentary under the guise of laughter, but the point of the joke, whether you chuckle or not, sticks with you.
Tampa Bay TimesAugust 09, 2017It feels silly and outdated, yet the Communist propaganda parody is full of Marx references and witty nationalist gibes.
Common Sense MediaAugust 08, 2017Faux-'80s Romanian cop series is a thought-provoking hoot.
Reason OnlineAugust 07, 2017The result is a kind of Mad magazine parody of tough-guy 1980s cop shows crossed with a Marxist-Leninist version of Woody Allen's hilariously counterfeit Japanese spy thriller What's Up, Tiger Lily?
Radio TimesAugust 07, 2017The case itself is full of twists and suspense and plenty of 80s cop drama cliches, but the real genius comes with the political edge.
Los Angeles TimesAugust 16, 2017It's a sketch the size of a miniseries, a molehill made into a mountain.
Village VoiceAugust 07, 2017The jokes are more prickling than hilarious, though I do cherish the recurring gag of the extras -- street vendors and security guards -- being given the dopiest lines, voiced by the weakest actors.
National ReviewAugust 07, 2017You could call Comrade Detective a one-joke affair, but that could also be said of Airplane. Inside that one joke, series creators Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka have built a deep reservoir of comedy.
