Yes, at intermediate level. Link Click speaks mostly everyday modern Mandarin, and its mystery plot gives you a reason to follow every line. Roughly 21 minutes per episode also makes it far less tiring than a full-length drama.

Why it works for learners
Two men run a small photo shop, and each job drops them into a client's past, so the talk stays close to ordinary city life: work, family, money, regrets. New clients bring new settings while the core pair repeat their familiar way of talking. At about 21 minutes an episode, you can finish one in a sitting and watch it twice, which suits this stage better than an hour-long drama.
What makes it hard
The time-jumping structure means you can lose the plot through confusion about events, not language. Characters also trade clipped banter under pressure, and those quick exchanges are harder than the calmer scenes. Some clues hang on exact wording, so a missed sentence can matter.
How to use it
Watch each episode once for the story, then replay it with Chinese subtitles and save the everyday phrases you could use yourself. Try the first three episodes as a test. If you follow the shop scenes comfortably, carry on through the season.
