On the heels of Comedy Central's "Bridget Everett: Gynecological Wonder" comedy special, airing this coming Saturday July 11, 2015, featuring the dynamic super group The Tender Moments (Adam Horovitz-bass, Carmine Covelli-drums, Matt Ray-keys, Mike Jackson-guitar), People Are Detectives brings The Tender Moments' triple-threat dancer/drummer/actor Carmine Covelli out from behind the drum kit and in front of the camera lens. This season, Covelli and his co-star, Neal Medlyn, will release one episode a week, every Thursday, for the 8-episode season. The premiere episode entitled "Horse Porn" will be out Thursday, July 16th.

Book-ended by the love-child action montages of Cagney and Lacey and the A-Team, the show is an absurdist take on the bizarre, banal and sometimes bonkers existential anxiety of two detectives on a series of stakeouts and in one another's company for a criminally long time. Seen only through the prison-like windows of their state-owned car, it's True Detectives meets My Dinner With Andre - a no-action cop drama with no perps, no arrests and no conclusions.Written and Created by
