Top Coppers(2015)

Top Coppers is a comedy series following detectives John Mahogany and Mitch Rust as they battle the criminal underworld of Justice City. Drawing inspiration from classic American and British cop shows like Starsky & Hutch and The Professionals, the series blends the conventions of Seventies and Eighties police procedurals with modern comedy sensibilities. Set in a deliberately timeless, placeless world, Top Coppers mines familiar action and crime genre tropes for laughs while grounding its humour in relatable British situations and relationships. The show features exaggerated characters and absurd storylines that celebrate the over-the-top conventions of its influences, creating a affectionate parody of the cop show formula.
