Why 90s TVB Detective Dramas Still Hold Up

One of the things I miss most about TVB in the 90s is the quality of the scripts from that era. The detective cases were written so well and felt genuinely intriguing, keeping viewers invested from start to finish. Each case was carefully thought out, with strong pacing and clever twists that made the investigations exciting to follow. The cast also had incredible chemistry, which added depth to both the professional and personal dynamics between the characters.

This series is an all time classic for me and one I often rewatch. Although Detective Investigation III is my personal favorite, the first installment still holds up remarkably well and remains a strong example of why 90s TVB dramas are so memorable.

One of the highlights of the series is the dynamic between Cheung Dai Yong and Jesse. They start off on the wrong foot due to Cheung Dai Yong’s bad encounter with a reporter, which causes him to develop a strong dislike toward journalists. Because of this, his initial interactions with Jesse are tense and dismissive. However, as the two continue to run into each other, their relationship slowly develops in a natural and believable way. This gradual buildup adds an emotional layer to the series and makes their interactions more engaging to watch.

Also, I love Kenix Kwok and Michael Tao's chemistry. Their interactions felt effortless and added warmth to the story, balancing out the darker and more serious nature of the cases. Similarly, the partnership between Michael Tao and Joey Leung, Cheung Dai Yong and Lee Chung Yee, was natural and compelling, making their teamwork feel both believable and engaging.

The cases written during the 90s feel especially strong when compared to more recent TVB productions. When watching TVB detective dramas nowadays, the stories often do not leave the same lasting impact. The older cases had more weight and originality, and they trusted the audience to follow complex storytelling. I also appreciated how every character had chemistry with one another, making the team feel cohesive and realistic. This natural interaction between the cast is one of the key reasons why the series continues to hold up so well over time.

Highly recommend to watch this. You won't regret it.

Police story and crime fighting

Another TVB Series from the 1995, this series is absolutely awesome and relatively short with 20 episodes. There is alot of action, crime busting ass and police work. It is a really good series to watch. Watching all the "old timers" of TVB series in action again after so many decades is indeed a beautiful walk down memory lane.

This series I would recommend to anyone who is not only a police story and crime fighting fan but also a huge TVB fan.

The songs paired to the entire series is also very nice to listen to.
