Approx length: 6 hours (6 episodes of about an hour each)
Where to find it: It's an Amazon Prime show, but can be found on Hulu, YouTube, Apple TV, and Vudu as well
What is it, in summary? A show about a man named Jonathan Pine (played by Tom Hiddleston) who goes undercover in a criminal organization ran by Richard Roper (played by Hugh Laurie) in order to take him down.
What do you love about it? This show is GENIUS. The acting is off the charts, the characters are compelling, and the story is interesting as fuck. Who doesn't want to watch Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie go head to head? No one, and if you haven't seen it, you're missing out. I have rewatched it like 5 times.
The thing that really makes the series is the dynamic between Jonathan and Roper, which is sheer perfection. I was already predisposed to like it since I like both actors, but still my breath was taken away by it. By the levels and the secrecy and betrayal and genuine affection and respect buried amongst it all. Jonathan is with Roper to avenge someone he loved, but still he found himself for falling for Roper's charms, at least a little bit. He might've hated himself for it, but it went both ways!! Roper doesn't trust people, but Jonathan slid right in like he was a missing puzzle piece finally returning. And I don't want to spoil anything but seriously, this is worth a watch. The first episode starts a little slow but once you move past that it is *chef's kiss*
What sort of things are you likely to request for it? I really just want anything with Jonathan and Roper 😂 Like whether that's ship or gen I'm good with either, I just love them so much and want whatever your beautiful brain comes up with.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships? I'm inclined to say no, since it's only six episodes and the Roper-Jonathan dynamic really gets good in the latter half
Content notes (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): There is violence! People get killed and beaten up, but it isn't excessive.
