Crime Drama and Police Procedurals

[colls]

Crime dramas and police procedurals are a perfect fit for a serialized format like TV. There are always crimes being committed, so you know you can have another episode. \o/ ...and they lend themselves to spinoffs quite often. We have the NCIS family, the Law & Order family, etc.

Oh, Lucifer! I forgot that one!

[yourlibrarian]

Me too, that definitely is a procedural in the vein of Castle.

[skieswideopen]

It really is! That was actually how I described it to people when it first started.

I actually thought it was closest to Forever, in not only a procedural focused on a relationship but with supernatural elements as well.

[skieswideopen]

The supernatural elements are definitely closer to Forever (which I also loved, and which nearly made my top five list), but the dynamic struck me as a little closer to Castle. Maybe it's because Henry actually had an official role to play, whereas Lucifer, like Castle, just kind of inserted himself into things. Plus Castle and Lucifer both lighthearted in a way that Henry wasn't.

[yourlibrarian]

That's quite true.
