Bad and Crazy - Netflix Series

We start off with a bright young man working in the police anti-corruption unit. He's made some progress in the department  and has gained the rank of lieutenant (I think), but he's ambitious and a promotion might be possible. He seems fairly smart, but he is lazy and not much of a fighter and when he gets jumped by a mysterious man wearing a motorcycle helmet and leathers he gets the snot beat out of him, not once, but multiple times. And where does this mystery man come from? He never appears on any of the security camera recordings. Let me give you a clue: Fight Club.

Not a bad show, though it's a little hard to have much sympathy for the hero because he is so lazy. However, the people around him are persistent and eventually they not only lead him to water but convince him to take a drink.

There is one fight scene where motorcycle man takes on a gang of toughs in an office. When he dumps a couple of barrels of oil on the floor I was reminded of Jason Statham taking on a group of thugs in a garage. There too the floor was covered with oil but wiley Jason managed to strap some rat-trap bicycle pedals to his feet and so manage to get around while the bad guys were slipping and falling left, right and center. The fight scene in this TV show wasn't as good as Jason's fight scene, but it wasn't bad and the difference can probably be explained by their relative budgets.
