Rawabi Vice

Rawabi Vice was a Teutonic crime drama television program aired on TTN from April 6th 2020 - May 18th 2020.

Premise
The series ran for 7 episodes each 45 minutes to an hour each, airing on every Monday from April 6th to May 18th. Each episode roughly followed a real crime that had been committed in New Rawabi. It followed 2 NRPP officers, crime_stopper69 and XxXN0DRUG5XxX stopping criminals in various usually over the top and exaggerated ways.

Production
The series had multiple issues during and after its casting, recording, and release, most notably issues with actors. The actor playing XxXN0DRUG5XxX, Kevin Macleod, was at the time struggling with both alcohol and drug addiction, often going on benders for days at a time, giving no indication as to where he was or what he was doing. He was arrested in several of these incidents. This issue was the subject of much ridicule among the populace as well as commentators in other countries and it is suspected that the leaking of these incidents before the show's initial airing significantly dampened its popularity and viewership.

Other issues including an incident where an extra and a security guard engaged in a scuffle outside the studio, leading to a bystander getting shot in the foot, hampered the show. This bystander later filed a lawsuit against the production company, Loded Diper Studios, which was settled with a sum of over 100,000 iron certificates to cover both the surgery and physical therapy afterwards. This came directly out of the show's budget and primarily led to the drop in quality during the last two episodes mentioned below.

Reception
The series enjoyed relative popularity throughout its syndicated run on TTN. The most viewed and well received episode was Bank Heist, the fifth in the series. Scenes and characters in this episode have become cultural icons in the GTR and across the Realm, with merchandise, mentions in other media, and even unofficial expanded universe lore and spinoffs dedicated to it. The last two episodes however where noted to "be of noticeable poorer quality" according to the New Rawabi Times. The President of the GTR is rumored to be a big fan.
