Foreign content?

If anything, good series from all over the world is the one reason to keep Netflix.

Look at you, and your cultured appreciation of television.

I just like American cop shows. Based in San Francisco, between ‘73 and ‘80, featuring a maverick cop and his Hispanic partner, ideally with car chases.

You're being sarcastic, but I could go for a few more of those.

I only watch foreign cop shows where one of the detectives is a dog. And most of the time the dog solves the case.

I'm talking Kommissar Rex/Inspector Rex, Hudson & Rex. But I'll settle for K-9, K-911, K-9 PI, Scooby Doo, and Ace Ventura.

Anyone got any more crime solving animals TV shows?

Also: Inspector Gadget.

An international US, French, and Canadian production.

Penny (the "hacker" niece) and Brain (the intelligent dog) solve all of the cases that Inspector Gadget (cyborg cop) bumbles through, even though he's essentially RoboCop with gimmicks.

Not '96-2001?

That’s the Los Angeles era . Different animal.

[–] wombatula@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Oh I see, Nash Bridges just isn't enough of a car-racing, hispanic sidekick having, San Fran cop for you.

I'm not even mad, I'm just disappointed.

But... but you need to read! And that's bad!
