Worth Watching - Cop Shows

Hill Street Blues - dated now but warm, engaging and funny while covering some hard storylines that transcended individual episodes. Great cast as well, and the show is a child of the talendted Stephen Bochco - who cut his teeth on the also excellent Columbo (even older!).

He's written at least one novel set in LA and involving showbiz writers - (great fun!)

Harder Edged Cop Shows - from the 90's Homicide: Life on the Street- and in the 00's try The Wire (I have seen series 1and 2 and it's great stuff)
