@joelnedecky.bsky.social’s THE BROKEN DETECTIVE details a two-week period in which PI Jake Joelsen tries to complete a missing-persons case before heading to prison for assault, pulling together enough money to make sure his mother is cared for during his absence.

They even touch on Miller’s relationship with alcohol, and what role anger played and plays in his life.

It’s got the slow burn, great dialogue, down and out characters, and slickly filmed action I love.
