- What is your favorite currently airing crime show?
I'm not sure these count, but the Marvel Vigilante Crime Fighter series on Netflix - Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage. There's police, there's crime-fighting, and it's all very noir.
- Favorite canceled show?
The Wire - which was cancelled after five seasons. It blew me away. You can probably stream it on Amazon or Netflix now. The Wire is the most realistic and best written criminal procedural that I've seen.
Although The Good Wife is a close second, but it's more a legal procedural/political satire than a crime procedural.
- What do you think would be the most binge-watchable?
The Wire. I devoured it. Does take a little while to get into, but once you do..whoa.
Luke Cage sort of is derivative of the Wire. Or feels at times like a rip-off, and half of Luke Cage's cast is from the Wire. The Wire delves into the relationship between the inner city drug trade, the police force, the educational system, the mayor's office, and the news media, and how the system starts failing and breaking down...due to bureaucratic red tape, ego-posturing, and power plays. It takes place in Baltimore and is perhaps among the best television series that I've seen. If you like police procedurals or crime dramas - it is a must watch.
- Who are some of your favorite crime-fighting teams or buddy-cop partners?
Remington Steel, and Laura
Bruce Willis/Cybil Shepard - Moonlighting
Riggs/Murdoch
- Share a intense scene or favorite quote or gif
I can never remember dialogue. But there is a great scene early on in the Wire, where they review a crime scene and the only word used is the four letter "f" word. And another one, between two boys working as couriers for drug-king pins. They discuss chess, and how to play it..."The King stays the King"
