Hawaii five o
chicago code
ncis
csi
law and order(minus svu with sable)
elementary
covert affairs
etc etc

always the good guys winning makes them boring as shyt to me

thats what makes The Wire so great. they dont figure it all out in 40 minutes and sometimes they take the L.

I'll stand by Elementary as being a good show and doesn't belong on that list with the others.

The rest I agree with (at least the ones I've seen)

 

[Mr210]

I only watch ncis and it's a great show and the cast takes L

They have their place as background noise for me

After the Wire and The Shield, all those cop shows looking

I do get a kick out of how soap opera-y Law and Order is though.

 

[NoGutsNoGLory]

True detectives was also onto something but the writer turned out to to be shyt. Say what yall want but those shows do numbers for some reason.

"The Chicago Code" doesn't belong on this list.

I didn't even know Hawaii Five 0 existed until Nas randomly popped up on an episode once

These are GOAT re-run shows when you just want to kick back, relax and watch some light hearted TV


And the cops do take L's on those shows... Law and Order they lost cases where the dude was guilty due to a mistake someone made. On the NCIS shows cop characters with major roles took a bullet to the dome, blown up, etc. There was even a episode of NCIS LA when the main characters lost a shootout with some terrorists, had dramatic music playing in the background and all lol, matter of fact that scene was on Youtube




I agree that cable cop shows are better in Quality, I think cable shows only having to do 10-13 episodes a season vs 24 episodes Network TV has to do helps a lot... Also if Network TV cop show were written like the ones in cable there would be a lot of filler episodes

Network TV cop shows are the WOAT. My boy has been telling me to watch Shades of Blue. I give him the

Elementary doesn't belong on that list...i enjoy most of it.

Blue Bloods should be on that list.
i will watch that from time to time because i respect Tom Sellicks moustache.

 

[Luvs 2 Spooge]

These network shows are generally straight

What kind of person could see shyt like this in a show and feel like the network has any respect for their taste / intelligence??
