I'm going with some loose picks here, but this is my top 10 Crime Shows.

1. Dexter
2. Mindhunter
3. Life On Mars
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
10. The Closer

Vera is a guilty pleasure

Barlow at large
Miami Vice (phil collins said wanker)
Kojak

The professionals by far was ahead of time and I don’t think any program has come close since.

S'what I was gonna say.

Also Law and Order UK, Vera, New Tricks.

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

The Mentalist as well which I'm currently re-watching

Chicago PD

Another Series is being made

Poirot

CSI: Miami
Crossing Jordan
Murdoch Mysteries
Cracker
Father Brown
Dempsey & Makepeace
The Equalizer
Bergerac
Life on Mars
Miami Vice
The Commish
Hill Street Blues

Admittedly it's my most loose pick.:joker:

This will be an interesting list to checkout.

Kojak and Hill St were ace

My mom loved that she had a "thing" for Lewis Collins, i always remember hearing the theme tune and knowing not to disturb her for an hour,lol.

Iove Miami Vice as well.

It’s being repeated still.
Lewis died I think last year , he never got the break he deserved

Kodak
Cracker
Starsky and Hutch

A Touch of Frost

Yes he died in 2013 sheriff, time really flies,and yes mom always said he would have made a great James Bond.I do watch the odd episode when I catch it.:wavey:

The Bill use to be ok .. until it turned into a silly law & order rip off:rolleyes:.

Luther has always been a good one

Touch of frost is a classic aswell

I don't mind Vera either
