Crime Drama and Police Procedurals



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.)

Just spotted you mentioned Prime Suspect -- are you watching Tennison?

No, I've never heard of it. Is it a new series?

Yes, it's running on Masterpiece Mystery right now and is a prequel to the Prime Suspect series with Tennison's first case.

Wonderful. Eventually, it should go to DVD and I'll be able to ask the library to order it.

I'm curious. Who did they cast to play young Jane Tennison?. I looked it up.

I just checked my directory--season one has already ended in my area. So I'll have to wait or pay for it and watch it online, which I know I won't do.
