Favorite private-eye/crime drama show ???

Columbo and it isn't close.

I did enjoy The Killing and Broadchurch, though

shit forgot about The Fall ... awesome series. Seasons 1 and 2 were top notch, Season 3 (final season supposedly) was a step back

Also Luther was pretty solid. Great to have Stringer Bell from The Wire getting his own show as the lead guy

The Killing was pretty decent after you get used to the Eminem cop's butchering of classic English language

The Wire we are just watching it for the first time - Awesome, best show ever ...Apparently all the black kids are just Baltimore kids not real actors - they are fabulous - Poot, Body, Marlo.....awlright!

Under rated Cable the Killing - definite

Reg. TV - Hill street blues for sure....

 

[CarolinaKid]

Dragnet and Magnum PI

plenty of them are actors


Marlo Stanfield was just in The Strain, Poot's been in all sorts of shit, Chris (the mean dude that drives Snoop everywhere) is on that Following show with Kevin Bacon, little dude Donut they whacked is an actor as is Namond (the one that ends up living with the Lieutenant)...and Bodie is in that new HBO show The Night Of. The one that they killed in jail to make look like a suicide was in several seasons of The Walking Dead until they killed him off.


Snoop is not an actor, though...in fact she's back in prison...psycho broad. so probably the bit players are non-actors but the main ones are all actors

Rockford Files/Magnum P.I.

Pretty sure it was documentary. Agree best show ever. When done go back and watch it again. You'll pick up a bunch of stuff that you missed. Like Michael had a small part in season 1 before season 4.

Love The Wire, well written and produced. David Simon is a genius. Was sorry to see it end.

This was always one of those shows where if you started watching an episode it was hard to walk away from. Good show.
