Bullets, Bones and Blocked Noses

2021–2022 · 2 seasons

A deadpan, absurdist buddy-cop show where the talking dog is a foul-mouthed middle-aged man, blending yakuza crime with surreal humor.

Tagline: Murder. Yakuza. And a dog that talks (back).
Overview: Police dog handler Ippei Aoba has a problem. It's called Oliver. To others, Oliver is a genius police dog that comes from a long line of geniuses, but, to Ippei, he appears—literally—as a lazy, foul-mouthed, middle-aged man in a dog costume.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, dark and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, identity, obsession, loyalty
Content: Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
