2023 30 episodes Youku Sci Fi Crime Thriller Mystery Drama

In Xinyuan Civilization Year 253, police captain Luo Wei Zhao investigates a seemingly routine murder that pulls him into the orbit of Pei Su — wealthy, brilliant, and connected to a criminal network that runs deeper than the department suspects. The investigation forces both men into an increasingly dangerous proximity as they unravel a conspiracy tied to 'Apaths,' individuals clinically incapable of empathy, that reaches into the upper reaches of society itself. Adapted from Priest's novel 'Silent Reading,' Justice in the Dark is a tightly constructed sci-fi crime drama with exceptional lead chemistry — cancelled after 8 episodes in 2023 and revived in 2025 to complete all 30, it rewards patient viewers with one of C-drama's most distinctive crime universes.
