This is a series about really, really old cops.
- Remember when Danny Glover said, “I’m too old for this shit”? Well, he would have been about three decades too young for this shit.
- Remember how old Abe Vigoda seemed as Detective Fish on Barney Miller? Either of these guys could be Fish’s dad.
- Rentnercops are older than Shatnercops.
- Remember when George Costanza fled the angry mob on a disability scooter? Well, he could easily have gotten away from a pursuit by these guys.
OK, I’m out of references. The title means “retired cops.” The premise is that staff shortages force two long-retired detectives back into action. If some scenes look too ridiculous for a crime show, I suppose that’s because IMDb bills the show as a crime comedy. Yeah, I know, it’s hard to tell with Germans. There are normally not that many laughs in an autopsy, but that is one zany nation! It’s almost as if Jim Carrey started his own race of people.
The entire episode is online for free. The nudity starts around 13:28. I give this episode a +2 on the Eurocrap scale.
Eurocrap Plusses:
“Seasons in the Sun” in German, right after the intro, starting at about the thirty second mark.
Death by crossbow in an office
Autopsy nudity
Eurocrap Minuses:
No green light in the autopsy room.
