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.

- What is your favorite currently airing crime show?
- Favorite canceled show?
- What do you think would be the most binge-watchable?
- Who are some of your favorite crime-fighting teams or buddy-cop partners?
- Share a intense scene or favorite quote or gif

(of course pick and choose which questions you answer or some other facet of crime and police procedurals, recs, etc.)

I really liked Top of the Lake. It was really nicely done and acted.

It was. The series had a sense of place that was unique in this genre. The X-Files was very cinematic, but Top of the Lake took it to a whole different level. I think without the New Zealand setting something important is lost. The least interesting character was the detective, which is the other thing that worries me about season two, since she's the only character that has been carried over. But I'll watch an episode or two. It might surprise me.

I liked that she was the least interesting because it let the other characters shine. It'll be interesting to see what they do with season 2.

Yes. I'm curious, too.
