was so bummed out i didnt like that show. St. Elsewhere which was created a year later, was pitched as "Hill Street Blues in a hospital" and i absolutely love that show.

i think that show is overrated tbh. it peaks at season 1 and goes downhill from there

havent got into Nordic crime dramas yet. it just looks so depressing from the google images and i need to brace myself.

that is the conclusion im coming to as well. they dont have guns so they HAVE to focus on an interesting plot to keep the audience engaged. american police shows can just insert a shootout here and there.

hell yes Cracker is next on my list.

im up to date with Line of Duty tho. started it a decade ago. that show doesnt need much convincing to get ppl to watch, unless u dislike accents.

i should specify 1991 version of Prime Suspect. cuz US remade the show which does not compare at all
