The BL c-drama Justice in the Dark was fascinating! Luo Wei Zhao and Pei Su investigate violent crimes together.
I'm used to contemporary fantasy being adapted into sci-fi for censorship reasons, but contemporary crime being turned into sci-fi is new to me. This is based on one of Priest's novels, and very Guardian-coded (also by Priest, but I didn't get this feeling with her other works).
The plot is quite dark, but if you like competency porn, go for it. Despite censorship, the main pairing gave me a lot of feels from episode 13 onwards.
Note that the first 8 episodes, released in 2023, have proper subtitles, but the other ones, finally released this year in Japan, have terrible MTL subs.
