Everything to know about the Taiwanese crime-comedy ‘The Fixers’
If Netflix’s crime dramas have been getting a little too serious for your taste, The Fixers will add a comedic layer to your next thrilling binge session.
Premiering this September, the upcoming Taiwanese crime-comedy spotlights an original story packed with adrenaline-fueled action, witty comedy, and dangerous organised crime.
At the centre of the crime-comedy are deadly criminals, divisive politicians, and one pretty unlucky mob boss, breathing life into a narrative unlike anything Netflix subscribers have witnessed before.
As for the rest of the details? Here’s a comprehensive rundown of everything known so far about The Fixers.
What is the plot?
The Fixers is a forthcoming Taiwanese crime-comedy that follows Felix Chiang, a debt-ridden mobster struggling with a midlife crisis. One fine day, he’s unexpectedly recruited as a fixer by a mysterious under-the-radar organisation, Ching He, hiding in plain sight under everyone’s noses. The organisation’s base is a 100-year-old temple where its members secretly solve problems for dangerous criminals, polarising politicians, successful business moguls, and practically anyone who is incapable of clearing their own mess.
After his recruitment, Felix is soon paired with Louis Hsueh, an arrogant descendant of a significant political family, and before long, they start locking horns. Although the duo gradually develops a formidable bond, dark clouds hover over the skies when Ching He’s longtime nemesis, Yeh Yueh Tong, starts joining forces with rival factions.
