Neil Cross—the mind behind Luther, and author of thrilling books like Captured, Holloway Falls, and Mr. In-Between —is the executive producer and creator of this genre mashup of a series. His inspiration stems from the 1980s hit series Moonlighting, wherein two detectives from opposites sides of the moral and social ladder must work together. However, Cross took a decidedly new approach to his new series. As he puts it in this Variety article: "I wanted to do an anti-Moonlighting, where you’ve got the two leads and you know they aren’t ever, ever going to get together. The idea was to put two people together who distrusted, feared and disliked each other, with good reason, and force them to work with one another."

Neil Cross’s genre-bending new series promises to keep viewers perched on the edges of their seats. The gritty and fearless Renko is everything we want from a lead. Her co-star’s troubled persona makes for a character dynamic we can’t wait to see play out on screen. Our popcorn is prepped and our Hulu queue is good to go. How about yours?

Hard Sun premieres on Hulu on March 7.
