4. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
5. Law & Order
6. The Chicago Code - A really underrated show imo.
7. Criminal Minds
8. True Detective Season 1
9. Deadwind

Dexter came to my mind first too but not sure if it can be classed as an out and out Detective/Police Drama :laugh:

in terms of CSI's i like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and CSI Miami the most

but i also like Criminal Minds, and i also like NCIS (but then with most of the original cast, early seasons, getting rid of most of the originals is a mistake in my opinion)

I agree with you about NCIS, it should've ended awhile back imo.

Honourable mentions from my earlier list would be CSI: New York & Whitechapel.
