I like the general idea but I think more info is needed. I could see this as a surreal comedy.

This is a good example of the confusion about how much to reveal in a logline. This one is interesting, yet reveals little about the premise, inciting incidents or anything but that there are two characters solving crimes.

Many script doctors would set about to try to 'fix' it with more information about the storyline, while if you added that information, those same script consultants would want you to remove the additional information from the logline to make people want to read the script to find out.

So which is best...? Who knows... Either way, some will suggest the other.

Insider would surely be a better title, heh? I think similarities to other shows are a problem, but I think this could be an interesting setting so long as you don't immediately abandon your agrophobic premise (I think many people know this term now) as it would be more interesting to see the disconnect between the isolated detective and his neighbour/agent who goes out in the real world to enact the investigation.
