Judge Dee mysteries is based on a a set of books by Robert Van Gulik and as the title suggests he is a magistrate who solves strange cases in the Chinese Tang court. He is played by Zhou Yi Wei and is appointed by Empress Wu Zetian to bring law to border regions where he has to contend with bandits and people who have lost faith in justice. The cases are interesting and they are the focus of the thirty two episodes of the first series, I would have liked more background on the side characters and not just the main character Di Ren Jie. It is entertaining though and the sets and production values are incredible. Great acting from all the cast and well worth a watch.
