Such a good idea

but so many clichés and prejudice. And the slapstick was sometimes a bit too much for me. It is supposed to be a comedy however so...

In short: A blind detective gets help from a young cop (he's the brains, she's the muscle). He works on cold cases, she tries to solve the disappearance of a childhood friend. Sounds good so far right? Because the foundation for this plot actually is not bad.
The actors are great too and their chemistry is there (not special but believable).
Solid watch for entertainment with a note of detective story so far.

BUT, and those are things that are big issues in my eyes:
- self harm presented as something done to get attention
- being gay presented as a "normal phase for a teenager" (the issue here is the "phase" thing, like if it was a choice)
- crossdressing presented as something people who rape and have a mental disease do (look at silence of the lamb, same issue)
- Jealousy being portrayed as a female trait and a mental illness that can be passed down via the female line of a family... ouff.

And, quite frankly, replaying the crimes (in real) to solve them might've been part of the comedic part, to make fun of all the Sherlocks and their ridiculous brain power, but seeing Ho Ka Tung (Sammi Cheng as the female cop) being beaten off again and again was uncomfortable.

So, to round this up, I don't know if I can recommend this. I certainly hope that they take up the plot idea again in the future and leave out the unnecessary jokes and prejudice.
