Year of the Rabbit
He's a rabbit with a gun.
On Channel 4
A comedic spoof of Victorian noir crime procedurals that derives its humor from the absurdist premise of an anthropomorphic detective navigating gritty London crime.
Set in the dark heart of Victorian London, Detective Inspector Rabbit is a hardened booze-hound who's seen it all. Rabbit's been chasing bad guys for as long as he can remember, but these days his heart keeps stopping at inopportune moments.
