I can't watch crime shows anymore because of it. The Wire basically covers 2~3 investigations over a 5 year period and they aren't fully resolved by the end of the series. Cop procedurals have them solving multiple homicide cases each week? Lmao no fucking way. Especially since police only have around 50% conviction rates for homicides IRL. And that's convictions, so they send innocent people to prison all the time.

tbh I don't fault them for that since I don't really see how such scenes would advance the story

Papercut on a report form where he claims to not have planted evidence that leads to him getting blood on his hands as a visual metaphor. That leads to him getting stabbed later when he also lies about not planting evidence.

or.

Walks into the station to do some paper work.
Right beside the guys, there was this big ass Orc!
He asked "Who's this?" They say, "I'm Orc Cop."
"And I'm your new partner." That made my heart stop.
I said "Orcs ain't cops!" They said "Now we are."
Then they went outside into an Audi car.
Put their orc keys into the car ignition,
Then they drive off together on a cop-Orc mission.

I think i might be the only person who actually liked Bright. It wasn't great but I will gobble Shadowrun slop all day.
