This same process is why u stop watching cop/detective dramas as soon as a protagonist gets kidnapped.

  1. This happens 100% of the time, usually 3 season in
  2. You know they’ve gone from procedural to full on drama at this point
  3. The quality always drops off a cliff here

Examples?

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 41 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Castle, Bones, Law & Order SVU, The Rookie (though it still has good episodes, the protagonists get kidnapped a lot tho), NCIS, Criminal Minds (again, multiple times), Hawaii 5 0 refresh, CSI, Monk…

...this is making me realize that I watch very few procedural detective shows, apparently. I think SVU is the only one of these I've seen, at all.

I read it as SUV.

And now I imagine a detective show in the Cars universe.

Title character being a grumpy SUV detective with a Keicar as the comedic sidekick

NTSF:SD:SUV is the only true crime detective show.

I haven’t watched most of these in a long long time

The Rookie is pretty good though

Anybody remember that season of hawaii five-0 where they spent like half the episodes almost killing danno

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I remember a lot of really bad product placement for windows phone and cars

I stopped before the final season though

Yeah that was always dumb and annoying.
