My favourite genre of drama:

I really miss The Bill - it was a brilliant programme and I'll never know why they axed it, particularly when ITV is now full of reality tv garbage!!!
I also love most, but not all, of the US ones. LOVE all the Law and Order Franchise - particularly the original L&O (especially the old ones with Jerry Orbach!!) but also SVU! My sister can't understand why I love SVU but there's something very satsifying about seeing rapists and abusers being sentenced to "20 to life" etc, even if it IS only fictional cases! The kind of sentencing that's realistic to the crime!! Don't like Law and Order UK - don't think it's worked.
Also love CSI but ONLY the NY one! Do not like the Vegas one and can't stand the red haired guy from CSI Miami - a more wooden actor I've never seen!
Am also a massive NCIS fan....got them all on DVD (as I have with SVU and CSI:NY too!!) I love that NCIS is gritty but also very funny and the real relationships that grow (suppose all the shows have that element!!)

Other British shows - used to love Silent Witness when Amanda Burton was in it, but it went downhill after she left. The early Waking the Dead's were good too, but again not so good in latter years!

Oooh - just in the mood for a wee NCIS episode now....
