Now Streaming: The Indian Detective (Netflix)

The Indian Detective is a short four episode mini-series currently streaming on Netflix. It features Canadian stand-up comic Russell Peters. Here’s the trailer:

There are a few particularly tasty bits for immprof watchers.

Let’s start with Episode one around 2:25. Police stop a truck and want to search it:

Border Agent: You got a warrant?
Peters: We need one? It’s a border crossing.

I seriously wish I had the computer skills to turn that into a clip. It’s gold. Even if it’s set in Canada.

Also in episode 1 around 16:20, the lead offers this insight: “Look, I just got back from India. I found out I’m not Indian. I mean, in Canada, if you needed to identify me, I’d be Indian. But in India, 100 percent ‘You are not Indian.'”
