Crime Patrol

The True Crime Re-Enactment type of program has pretty much the same style the world over. Although I couldn't understand the words they were saying, what was transpiring was easy to see.

A to Z Blogging Challenge 2015: Television Tropes: C is for Cop Show AKA Crime Drama

Cop shows/crime dramas are a staple of television viewing. Over the years, they have become more graphic and intense, and, in some cases, less realistic. I enjoy watching CSI, but no forensic examiner in her right mind would be wearing a low-cut blouse and have her hair down while examining a cadaver. Shows like CSI tend to be splashy and sexy and rely on CGI effects.

Shows such as True Detective have a grittier feel. True Detective is a Southern Gothic/Noir style series which ran from January 2014 to March 2014. A second season is pending. You can watch scenes from the show's first season, such as this one on You Tube. Unfortunately, the embedding has been disabled.
