#art detectives

NO sexual chemistry between Mick (Stephen Moyer) and his younger, female DC Shazia Malik. Instead, they encourage one another's potential relationships with other people.

Mick and Shazia hit it off on their first case and he hired her away from a boss who didn't respect her because she 's 1) a woman, 2) Pakistani, and 3) his inferior on the force.

Shazia, as a Muslim, notably never drinks alcohol.

Moyer dresses beautifully, has a beautiful house, and got to play the piano a bit in the latest episode.

Mick is very good at his job, but rather a disaster at everything else.

They don't try to downplay Moyer's age and make him an action hero. Shazia or someone else gets to chase and tackle suspects.

Anyways, Art detectives is very cool. It follows DI Mock Palmer who's at the head of the heritage crime unit, and DC Shazia Malik who is added to the two person team after the first episode.

DI Mick Palmer, an art art loving detective with a father who's a painting forger (idk if that's the word) is played by Stephen Moyer, whom I had never seen in anything and who by his performance made me want to see more of his roles.

It is not of course absolutely life changing TV(for now, bc there's only 4 episodes and the last one ended on a serious cliffhanger), but I find both characters very endearing, their dynamic cute, for the lack of a better word, the subject very cool (Art!) and the investigations well-made.

So yeah, go watch it ! It's got art, investigations, mystery, cool friendships, bothersome family and stylish sets ....

while I rattle around doing little bits of stuff. Swooning once again over Stephen Moyer's beautiful silvery hair and the cute little neckerchiefs he wears as Mick Palmer.

His DC Shazia Malik watching Mick talking excitedly with the museum curator he fancies: "Oh look, the nerds are flirting, how cute is that".

I have posted a new chapter for my Art Detectives fic!
