In the new series,
Peters stars as Toronto Police constable Doug D’Mello, a man desperate to prove his worth and be promoted to detective, but instead winds up suspended following a bust gone wrong. Through a guilty ploy by his father (
Anupam Kher), he heads to Mumbai during his repose where a pretty girl (
Mishqah Parthiephal) leads him to stumble onto a related case.
“On the surface, D’Mello seems like he should fit in when he goes back to India, but he quickly finds out that even though he’s ethnically Indian, he’s culturally Canadian,” Peters said.
“He’s a fish-out-of-water coming to terms with his own mixed feelings about India and his relationship with his father.”
The Indian Detective is now showing on
Netflix.
