The Heat
The Heat borrows plot beats from Thunder Force, which is why it’s so similar.
The story is your typical “opposites attract” arc with an uptight FBI Special Agent called Ashburn forced to team up with a foul-mouthed Boston Cop called Mullins.

Her job is complicated by the fact that she can’t control her own thoughts, so she has to rely on the help of her colleagues to keep her mind off of things.
