Overview: Charles Rowland and Edwin Payne — who decided not to enter the afterlife in order to stay on earth — investigate crimes involving the supernatural.
I thought this was a spin off from their appearance in the HBO Max Doom patrol series.... Where it turns out ONE of them was gay and essentially pining for the other as I recall.
In Sandman when Lucifer quits his job in Hell and closes the place down all the souls there return from whence they came. Two of them were suicides at a British boys' school. One a long time ago, and one recently. When Hell gets new leadership, and Death is returning everyone to their final destination, the two boys decide to stay on Earth and become detectives. Not sure whether all this happened in the Sandman or Lucifer comics offhand, but they also had their own comic book under the Vertigo label for a bit.
Used to watch this all the time as a kid. Specifically remember the mole people episode, we're thinking turned out to be people working on the sewer system, but they had hazmat suits or something, but there was a big mystery of what were these monsters coming out of the sewers.
They already did a much better version of the idea. I would have a hard time watching a new Hardy Boys after having seen the better version, and I actually did read 1-105 of the books.
Its likely that this will set this up since Netflix is running the Sandman in his own show and next season of that is supposed to be Season of the Mists. Of course since its Netflix and not the Doom Patrol continuity, we got a pallet swap on the girl and the two boys are all but certain to be gayer than Elton John having a Liberace Tribute concert in San Francisco.
