After a convicted murderer's execution, and when copycat killers become suicides, the original detective is dragged into what becomes a vastly more complex case.

Although I wouldn't recommend this broadly, it was so impactful that I could only sketch out a vague description from memory and had to wait for the inception of artificial intelligence to help me track it down.

Murders lead an ex-almost-priest-turned-detective to discover a supernatural gang war.

It's mellow and interesting.

A criminal takes the opportunity to impersonate a sheriff and continues to be a criminal.

It fundamentally makes no sense how the character can fragrantly break the law.

A man regrets the wedge between himself and his son, and tries to apologize. Or something.

It's definitely on-par with the first, and worth the watch if you like the other.

A secret stalemate exists between good and evil, and each are tasked to police the other.

Stylized, with a good soundtrack, great acting, and a great concept; very good!

In a world where cybernetics are commonplace, a cop is tasked to track down pro-human terrorists.

It's straightforward fun; very good.

A man's dog son is killed, and he plays the long game to find the killers to avenge him.

Kinda plodding, but okay I guess. It's likeable but a bit flat. Don't watch it unless you're into .. I don't even know what genre this is. I guess unless you're into Jason Statham.
