New fandom, perhaps?
So, I’ve been catching up on the latest fandoms, and a few of you have been posting about Guardian, a Chinese drama series.
Until this week, I had never heard of it. So I did what I usually do and started Googling. I found the wiki and saw that it ticked off several of my favorite elements/tropes - a police department of misfits investigating crimes/perpetrators of an SF&F nature, with two main protagonists: a smartass/unconventional head cop and an academic/scholarly expert, neither of whom are what they seem.
Then I realized I could watch the subtitled episodes on YouTube for free ( start here) ... and watched the first two episodes this afternoon. Despite the budget production values and cheesy special effects, this is fun, and I want to keep watching to see where it goes - even though there’s an ad every 3-5 minutes (argh!).
