Fandom/Canon Name: Fastlane

What's awesome about it: Okay, so my last recommendation was all, "Transgender characters! Women of color in power! Functional polyamory!" This one is...100% cracktastic guilty pleasure.

Please allow me to introduce you to the team, via this incredible fanvid: 3 by Talitha78 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBeAesqcSwQ)

Fastlane is about two police officers (Peter Facinelli and Bill Bellamy) in an experimental program that essentially has them living undercover 24/7 as glamorous high-profile criminals, under the direction of their tough-love boss (Tiffani Thiessen). Their relationships are characterized by snark, trust, and competence, which is like, all of my kinks underneath the same umbrella.

The show is beauuuutiful, filled with shiny cars and gorgeous beaches and half-naked people, and has an over-the-top humor that I find utterly charming. The officers are constantly getting themselves into scrapes and having to pull each other out of them.

To illustrate the cracky fun, here are some things that actually happen on the show:
- The male police officers have to pretend to be lovers
- The amazing lady boss seduces a lady criminal
- All three of them end up undercover at the same porn screen test by accident

The lady-in-charge is heavily implied to be either lesbian or bisexual, but the officers never work up the nerve to ask, so she never says. There is only one season, so the show is quick to marathon, and so, so worth it.
