well folks, I figured it out: It is “Wire in the Blood” episode 1 “The Mermaids Sing”.
It was episode 1 so maybe thats why it got stuck in my head
Main MC didnt save anyone, he got saved instead.
Yes the suspect likes to cross dress.
Robson Green played this series really well. He is more of a detective / psychologist.
So I am rewatching old detective shows like WhiteChapel, early Sherlock, Ripper Street…etc. You know the usual police/detective chasing killers and solving strange cases.
Anyway, I remember I used to watch a show similar to the ones above around 2010ish. But the only thing I could recall is that the killer (of that specific story arc) likes to cross dress or maybe homosexual? Before I go further, let me say I have nothing against trans people. You guys are cool. It is just coincident that the one thing I remember is this one lol.
So in this one episode, the killer comes face to face with our main character. It is their only confrontation and it is the final episode of that arc. I think the MC caught him before he kills another one. I also think the killer dies in this episode so we close this story arc. There is a lot of “I think”, I understand but my memories are so hazy lol. Another thing I could recall is that the killer is a male, and he dresses like one of those dominatrixes. This scene was so fucked up that the only thing I remember was this killer. I think our victim was being tortured with BDSM stuff and before he got killed, our MC saved him.
Very hazy, I know. I also checked the following with no luck:
Sherlock: definitely not. Sherlock only comes in like 3 episodes per season, and I dont recall any scene like that. .
Whitechapel: I just finished watching the entire show and there was no such scene.
The Alienist: I watched these a long time ago. I can try again but from Wikipedia’s description of the episode, there was no such scene.
Ripper Street: I am watching it now from Ep 1 and I dont want to read up the episodes because the show is good. I want to enjoy watching it w/o spoilers. Maybe this is the one? I dont know.
Several thing I am 100% sure:
Show is produced post 2000.
I definitely watched this in 2010ish, exactly 2011. Reason for this is that I remember showing this show to my HS roommate and even he went “that is fucked up”. Again, no discrimination against trans, it is just the episode.
It is definitely a detective style show. In fact, our MC caught the wrong killer and hence the reveal in this episode is so shocking.
That is all I could remember… Appreciate any help
oh thanks, i’ll post the info shortly. Thought Lemy has a dedicated instance for this.
given how many idiots are in that photo AND how many Republicans are in the line of succession (99% + 1 RFK Jr), we might as well beg for a Red Wedding a la GoT style.
Thanks everyone for replying. Looks like I wasnt clear on the OP: these drivers literally have their left hand (for left handed traffic) the entire duration of the turn - it almost seems like if they let the signal to “tick” for more than 1 second then a bomb would explode or something. And they always commit to the turn, the signal is just a façade. So the correct sequence is like this:
Everything takes place in 0.5 second. Or you blink and he’s gone.
Regarding the autocancel signal, yeh I do know about that. On old cars like the 2016 Corrola - you flick the signal, it stays flicked until you flicked it off or finish a turn. On new ones like Mini Cooper / BMW, a gentle flick would signal for 3 sec then automatically turn off. This is something different lol.
Either you use it or you dont. It is good to use it though, make it a good habit. Plus, I want to announce to those around me especially when I am backing up into a garage: I am here, do not stand in my way. If you dont use it, obviously you can cause accidents.
That being said, there is a 3rd group who I absolutely fucking despised:
Those who use it just to show the cops or whoever the fuck around that “look, I use blinkers”
When changing lane or enter a turn, uually this type of driver will go Click-Turn-Click. No head movements whatsoever. Also turning the signal off immediately like the sound of it can cause them brain cancer or something.
thanks for your suggestions. I figured it out lol: Wire in the Blood, Ep 1. Maybe thats why it got stuck in my head lmao. Very shocking 1st episode.
