I mildly like cop shows. It’s a nice fantasy where everything gets solved and the line between good guys and bad guys is so clear. But: even in nice fantasy land… there are such glaring problems! Mostly cops believing that, since they are the good guys, they are always justified, laws be dammed. Or nepotism/interferences left and right. Personal matters snowballing. Use of public resources towards personal gains. It’s so obviously possible, I wouldn’t want the real world to work like that!

Everyone loves a good detective/mystery story. It’s too bad it only happens in books and shows.
