RE: TV cops

I've collected quite a few European and U.K. series on DVD including many police detective dramas. Most of them hold up quite well. Definitely a different approach to writing with a bit more emphasis on character development than action in general. More recent police procedurals from the U.K. and Europe are often grittier than US efforts.

For instance, the Swedish Wallander 2005-2013 (the version starring Krister Henriksson) is one of the most gripping detective series ever from start to finish with a unique and brilliantly executed finali. Alas, the British reinterpretation starring Kenneth Branaugh pales in comparison and makes the character so boringly moody that the stories tend to get lost.

Cheers,
AuPh
