police procedural

It’s a police procedural, a metaphorical family comedy, a workplace comedy, a soap opera, a melodrama, a low-budget action adventure.

The series is equal parts police procedural and biting feminist commentary.

“Interior Chinatown” follows the story of Willis Wu, an actor who is stuck playing background characters on a police procedural called “Black & White” while dreaming of bigger things — like getting to play “Kung Fu Guy” instead of “Generic Asian Man.”

In the surreal “Interior Chinatown,” which Yang aptly describes as “‘The Twilight Zone’ meets ‘Law & Order,’” Yang stars as Willis Wu, a waiter at a seedy Chinese restaurant that doubles as the perpetual filming location for a police procedural called “Black & White.”

“Fight Night” flirts with a variety of styles — blaxploitation, police procedural, social drama, the buddy-cop movie — which are successful on their own terms but don’t easily cohere.
