Crime Shows

bang bang

Personally, I think crime shows are boring. CSI and Law and Order, etc. just don't do it for me. And neither have the mystery novels I've read. I like it real. Keep it realz, dawg.

I want to know real police procedure, real forensics, and real crime stories. True crime is more interesting, for me. I like reality tv, and not "reality" tv. I detest laugh tracks, and acting, in general, just seems phony to me, most of the time. So give me documentaries, give me truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (well, maybe a little fiction/fantasy, aka "true lies"). Give me the unadulterated facts.

When I lived in Davis, the college library had lots of interesting forensics resources, like journals and textbooks. That's way more interesting to me than watching gruesome Grissom, with his pig in the shit, or what-have-you, with the techno-soundtrack. That's just a tv writer trying to make entertainment.

Reality can be far more gruesome than tv, of course. Nauseating and excruciating and twisted and cruel. Not for the faint of heart, real-life horror. Starvation, for example, is pretty horrifying.
If you like details, can derive facts/probabilities from them, and have a need for justice (that coincides with our legal system's) deriving from a righteous anger against crime, then a career in law enforcement is waiting. Of course, many criminals might think they are enforcing their own justice, and that they deserve whatever they steal or earn.
