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

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

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