Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Indian Detective is a 2017 comedy/drama miniseries that aired on November 30, 2017 on CTV and it had an overseas release via Netflix on December 19, 2017. It stars comedian Russell Peters, who also had a hand in helping with the show's script, some of it based on his experiences as an Indian-Canadian. The creators consist of Frank Spotnitz and Smita Bhide. Four episodes are directed by Sandra Johnson.Doug D'Mello is an experienced Indian-Canadian police officer with the Toronto Police Service who worked on a case of drug trafficking from New York to Toronto when he botches an investigation after initially getting into a Jurisdiction Friction situation with the Canada Border Services Agency. Due to this and partially over his Cowboy Cop attitude, Doug is suspended for a month.Doug visits his father Stanley after being told that he's supposedly dead in a Mumbai hospital, except that he overreacted. He gets involved in investigating criminal activities in Mumbai after his father told a local that Doug's a detective at the TPS, when he's just a constable. He later investigates other crimes that are tied with a corrupt Canadian businessman and Mumbai-based organized crime.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Peters has said a second season is in the works since 2017, but so far none has been released. | |

Always Identical Twins: Mumbai's "Terror Twins", Gopal and Amal Chandekar. They look identical, though their respective accents reflect where they stay most often (the former is based in Mumbai, the latter in Toronto). | |

Aerith and Bob: With its constant cutting between Toronto and Mumbai, the series features lots of Indian and Western names. The D'Mellos stand out for being Indian in ethnicity yet sporting Western given names—as Doug is revealed to be raised Catholic, his family's religion may be a probable cause.note D'Mello was a common name in Western India among the Portuguese colonists, and Indian Catholics frequently have Portuguese surnames because many converted due to the Portuguese influence. | |
