Posted May 2, 2011 The only thing close to a "crime drama" I can think of that I've watched recently was Sherlock, which was ace. It was good but it was let down by a shitty ending. Although I have an idea how it may start up, although it has one massive flaw. Did they ever explain how the taxi driver always lived in the first episode? My theory was that he built up an immunity, a concept they stole from The Princess Bride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 2, 2011 You just can't beat a bit of Columbo, I love it. You get to see the murder at the beginning, yet you're always amazed at how brilliantly Columbo solves each case.. Just a shame that the later episodes (you can always tell) aren't as good as the earlier episodes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 2, 2011 They should make a show about a serial-killing sassy teen who works as a pie maker! Obviously she'd need to be played by Kristen Bell. She's staring in a new show called House of Pies Lies actually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 2, 2011 Kristen Bell would gladly play Veronica Mars forever and ever. WB should be forced to not be dicks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) From what I watched of the film it's more of a melodrama. Whilst "crime drama" doesn't explicitly have set boundaries — it's more of a meta category, with numerous subset genres — I'd tend to section off anything supernatural into its own thing. It doesn't seem right to think of The X-Files as a crime drama, for instance. Edited May 4, 2011 by Aimless Typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
