Hrm. So an episode of Sherlock S1 and one of Luther S1 both have the same pivotal plot point. The exact same. Even the wording on discovery is the same. Looks like the Luther ep aired a couple months before the Sherlock one... I imagine there must of been some issues when the Sherlock team found out Luther had used the same significant plot reveal before they went to air? How much creative crossover is there within BBC1 series creators?

Do we talk about Flashpoint anywhere? Well, really all I have to say is that I'm just starting to watch it on Netflix, and I like it. The bald guy who is not Enrico is both attractive to me and also reminds me of my just previous boss, which makes that highly disturbing. I predict weird dreams.
ETA: Which is not to say that Enrico is not an attractive man; I just needed to distinguish between the two.
Good show, though!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hugh Dillon? Better known to fandom as the guy from Hard Core Logo?
Yeah, he has an air about him. I don't get the impression that Joe Dick and Ed would really get along too well.
I don't think Flashpoint is a procedural, though.

I think of it as a procedural.

Yes, Hugh Dillon. I've never seen Hard Core Logo. Sounds like maybe I should.

They don't figure out cases--how is it a procedural?

The dictionary definition is "a novel, film, or television drama that deals realistically with police work."

That's not the dictionary we were using when we made the thread--thread definition is "the primary idea is to figure out the case'. Which makes the set bigger than police work (like House) but also means it's not all police work.

They do investigate backgrounds and motives on Flashpoint. They're almost always trying to figure out why, in order to negotiate. Also, there are episodes like the one in which they had to figure out who the bomber was by investigating who might have a grudge against the company.
