Procedurals 1: Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You.
This thread is for procedural TV, shows where the primary idea is to figure out the case. [NAFDA]
I'd been looking forward to the Will Trent show, since I'd been reading the books from the start. I saw the second one and kept thinking how different it was from the book. I may not continue with it.
I've been enjoying Will Trent. For me he has a bit of an Agent Pendergast vibe that sucked me in right away.
I've been watching a lot of cop shows from the 70s and 80s like Quincy, Hunter, and Kojak. It's a little disturbing to see how much these "heroes" were sexist assholes.
I was watching some 70s and 80s game shows, and ditto. And when we had Hulu a couple of years ago, we watched St. Elsewhere. Yikes.
Justified is back.
I happened on a Columbo marathon recently and yeah. Poker Face , which is wonderful, draws on it heavily. (Not that part ha ha.)
One of these days I’m gonna have to binge some Columbo. I don’t know that I ever really watched it but I vaguely like it based on what I’ve absorbed from the zeitgeist and ether.
Ooh, Justified!
Old skool Hawaii 5-0. The first four seasons are pretty consistently remarkable… then it’s a cop show with periodic really good episodes.
I'm so glad to hear about new Justified! Here's an article about it, including where to watch. [link]
