The Good Detective (2020)

A good crime thriller which lost its pace halfway through

Overview : “The good detective” started off pretty well, but the ending was not upto the mark. A crime thriller with an interesting plot which lost its pace in the middle. Out of all the detective / crime thriller dramas I have watched, I couldn’t find anything particularly unique with this series. The drama is neither too good nor too bad. It’s an okay-okay drama to watch. You can watch it once, If you are really into crime thrillers / detective dramas

Plus points : The bromance between the detectives and their bickering here and there was so interesting and good to watch. There were a lot of emotions and bonds throughout the series which got me emotionally connected with the drama. Though there was no romance in the drama, I really loved the bond between the leads which gave out a special vibe. The casting was extremely good - each and every actor had done amazing justice to their roles. The music was pretty good but not exceptional.

Minus points : I personally felt that the drama was really dragging. It would have been good if it was upto 12 episodes. Unnecessary dragging with a lot of revelations, flashbacks and recurring sequences was a major turn off. I wanted to drop off in the middle, but I really wanted to know the ending and that’s why I competed watching it. Though I know that if there was romance, the drama would have been offtrack - still I was hoping for a slight romance between the leads as they were so good. I felt disconnected halfway through the drama as it had lost its pace in the middle.

Conclusion : Overall, the drama was okay. The series doesn’t have much of a rewatch value.

Whatever

All I have to say about this series is that every single female character was written to look bad. The sister, the female reporter, the female witness, the daughter, and the female investigator. In the end, the good guy gets executed for nothing because the women couldn't get their sh*t together.

I honestly held out hope that one of these women would pull a Hail Mary but none of them did. Whatever the writers have against women, they obviously didn't care much for them to give them any stronger roles or saving grace. There wasn't ONE single likable female on this show. It's really pathetic the female reporter wept tears for the person who actually murdered an innocent detective rather than the innocent guy who got wrongly framed for his murder and she didn't do anything to help in order to preserve her job. Not to mention how she constantly drinks away her sorrows.

No one gets actually punished for the murders and cover-ups they all actually did. Not the murderers, the corrupt prosecutors, the higher-ups in the police force, no one. All the innocent people who died, none of them gets real justice.

Whatever.
