Damn CBS sure doesn't make quality Crime Drama anymore


This has to be one the most authentic crime dramas to appear on CBS. The episodic plots are compelling the characters are intriguing. Seriously nothing on CBS today is authentic or has a world that you can truly believe in. The only other Crime Dramas to get this close to authenticity on CBS is EZ Street and The District. For a show that was produced 9 years ago and only 10 episodes of the 13 aired. This show holds up very well.

Now all over broadcast we obviously have no real options for Crime Drama.

ABC and Fox have the contrived buddy procedurals.

CBS and NBC have the simplistic bland procedurals.


What happened to the legacy that Ambitious and innovative Crime dramas left behind on broadcast television.

Hill street Blues
Crime Story
NYPD Blue
EZ Streets
Brooklyn South
Boomtown
Robbery Homicide Division
The District.

Agreed it was great. We live in an "instant gratification" world now. People can't tear themselves away from their smart phone long enough to appreciate a good show, and networks won't give many shows a second season or sometimes a third episode.
