William Mortensen Vaughan has no idea what he is talking about. The reason why he said "I've had roles in student films with bigger budgets" is because those productions were from schools where they can throw money at projects. He is a terrible actor. I was laughing at his scenes. He said it's a comedy. The only funny episodes are the ones that William Mortensen Vaughan are in.

Warning: Spoilers
SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!
Full disclosure, this web series is written and directed by my friend, Marc Chicoine (II), who also plays the title role; it is filmed by another friend, James Mason (XI); and features other friends, Vesher Yisrael and Dennis Nicomede, as well as me and my wife, Libertad Green.
That being said, I admit that this is one of the most low budget productions I have ever appeared in. Without exaggeration, I've had roles in student films with bigger budgets. Fortunately, "Metropolitan Detective" is a comedy, so the poor quality of the overall production only adds to the hilarity.
At first, I couldn't bear to watch any of the episodes - especially the ones I might have appeared in, but, when I realized that I was the most likely candidate to write a review, I decided to watch all three of five episodes which are available, as of February 13, 2014.
Perhaps the funniest thing about this series is the music, at least some of which is provided by The Free Refills (so appropriate for such a low budget production!) in the form of a song entitled "Gringo and Ready to Mingle."
Then there are the pre-requisite one-liners, such as, "That prison's not so bad; lots of people escape from it!" And, "Wanna be in a movie? 'Cause I'm going to put you in a cast!"
Perhaps someday, when Marc Chicoine becomes an award-winning, big budget producer, he and the cast and crew of this series will re-watch this series, and laugh at our humble beginnings.
