History Series / ComradeDetective

->''"You don't become a good communist by going to meetings, or by memorizing the manifesto; you do it on the streets, you do it with your fists"''

A satire of the politically charged American pop culture of the 1980s, it purports to be a remastered edition of Tovarăș Miliţian, a gritty crime series produced by the Romanian government in the late UsefulNotes/ColdWar as a response to western works like Film/RockyIV and Film/{{Red Dawn|1984}}, to both entertain and to celebrate the ideals of communism. It follows Gregor Anghel and Iosif Baciu, two Bucharest policemen and loyal communists on a quest to unravel a capitalist conspiracy and find their friend's killer.

!Tovarăș Miliţian provides examples of: [[note]]Or: Tropes present in the fictional show produced by the Romanian government. Some of these tropes might usually be considered YMMV, but given the concept, are not really to vary[[/note]]

* StealthParody: Both the Romanian actors and the English dub cast act as if they're taking the show seriously, and the intro segments are intended to confuse the viewer into thinking that it was an actual show in Ceausescu's Romania. The video quality (and the fact that it's in a widescreen image format, which wasn't used for TV production until the late nineties, and only really took off after the turn of the millennium) is the major giveaway that it was filmed in TheNewTens.

The series was filmed with Romanian actors in Bucharest, with the English voice cast including Creator/ChanningTatum, Creator/JosephGordonLevitt, Creator/NickOfferman, Creator/JennySlate, Creator/DanielCraig, Creator/JasonMantzoukas, Creator/JakeJohnson, and Creator/JohnDimaggio.
