Comrade Detective

Has anyone seen this? I haven't, but I'm very intrigued. As I understand it (and it sounds a it complex to me, so I may not entirely have understood it) it is purportedly a found 80s Romanian cop show, that has been redubbed in English. (Though of course it is no such thing and is filmed with modern Romanian actors, but overdubbed with some well known US actors, including Nick Offerman and Channing Tatum). Is it any good? (I think it's on Amazon)

I think it's fantastic. I discussed it briefly in the LoveFilm thread. It's basically played straight, except in so far as propaganda can be very silly, though I'm sure some of the over-the-top flavour touches might be a tad annoying for Romanians (and/or people like yourself).
