(except the Assistant Chief Constables, who are always bureaucratic assholes for some reason - maybe that's true?)
That comment not only made me laugh, but took me back through the years. In my experience every school had two assistant principals, one of whom was friendly while other was always a martinet, kinda like those ACCs.
I had a couple of misses lately. I tried a Russian thriller called Locust. Even though it only has four episodes, I gave up early in the third one when it went full soap opera. I may go back and finish it, or not.

And I tried the American series Magic City, but gave up after one episode because the story was too predictable and there was way too much smoking, especially cigars, the smell of which makes me retch. I probably won't go back.
Ironically, what I am on to now also has too much smoking, but at least it has a point, since the central figure, an Internal Affairs detective in Israel on the verge of retirement who has had to give up smoking due to heart problems but is surrounded by people, like his wife and his partenr, who aggravate him by lighting up. Meanwhile, he gets roped into an investigation of his former best pal who appears to be deeply corrupt. It's called Manayek, and although it is just a few years old, feels decades old, in a good way.
