Zwei...die – The Persuaders!

SDP
Richter Fulton ist es Leid, immer Verbrecher laufen lassen zu müssen, deshalb entschliesst er sich ein Verbrecherbekämpfungsduo zu bilden. Seine Wahl fällt auf Lord Sinclair und den schwerreichen Dandy Danny Wilde. Beide sind zuerst gar nicht begeistert, Verbrecher bekämpfen zu sollen, doch nach und nach stellt sich bei ihnen Spass ein, denn schliesslich haben sie nichts besseres zu tun... Und Fulton fädelt vieles ein, was die „Zwei“ im ersten Moment nicht wissen.

In Englischen war die Serie nach einer Season, mangels Interesse, eingestellt, im deutschsprachigen Raum hingegen war die Serie ein Hit, weswegen sie viele Male wiederholt wurde. Das lag daran, das die Deutsche Synchronisation die Serie mit Witz und coolen Sprüchen ausstattete, was hierzulande sofort zog. Im Original war sie aber um einiges ernster und kam deswegen nicht über eine Season hinaus. Daran kann man erkennen, wie wichtig eine gute Synchronisation ist, mit ihr entscheidet sich, was aus Film oder Serie wird. Auf jeden Fall wurde die Serie im Deutschen zum Kult, denn durch die neuen Sprüchen war sie hip und witzig. Fazit: Im Deutschen Top, im US-Englischen Flop.
 

Zu vergleichen mit „Simon & Simon“.
