Comrade Detective is an American buddy cop series created by Brian Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka. The show follows the premise of popular US action/cop-buddy films and television shows from the 1980s and presents the episodes as a fictional lost Romanian television show commissioned by the Communist Party to promote a communist worldview during the Cold War. Every episode was filmed in Romania using local actors and then dubbed into English as part of the effect.[1] It was released on Amazon Prime Video on August 4, 2017.

if download it there will be two audios on each stream

on the trailer because it is stereo it is available in Opus as the main track and the second track is in TrueHD

the six episodes have Dolby Digital Plus as the main audio and the secondary tracks are TrueHD with Atmos

Peculiar.

FWIW, I'm in Toronto.
