Z-Cars : led the way
The Sweeney : The Daddy; Gritty realism and convincing characters.
Petrocelli : watched it to see if he ever got that bloody house finished!

Columbo - Love the idea that we know whodunnit right from the start, a brilliant twist on the genre.
Murder One - Daniel Benzali as Ted Hoffman and Stanley Tucci as Richard Cross, great performances.
Ashes to Ashes - Gene Hunt, say no more.
Loads of others, like Rebus, Trial and Retribution. Messiah, Waking the Dead, Starsky & Hutch, Midsommer Murders, Cracker, plus all the Christie stories.0 -

Got to be Rebus although the TV adaptations could never do the charactor in Ian Rankin's book justice. John Rebus is my all time hero (apart from Derek Hales that is).0

Hill Street Blues

My first recollection of a police drama was 'Fabian of the Yard' in the '50s, and then came 'Dixon'. But how about 'Callan', not strictly cops and robbers but close enough, I reckon and also 'Public Eye': Frank Marker was down-trodden, miserable, a loser,but with an ironic outlook on what life threw at him and it made for fascinating T.V.0

The Sweeney- makes London look really seedy and everyone drinks while working.
Bergerac- he always had some saucy minx on the go and Jersey looks beautiful.
Cagney and Lacey- rounded story lines as they focused on home life problems too.
Rockford Files - I loved his dad 'Rocky' and the fact he loved his car but it kept getting smashed up.0 -
The Wire far and away better than anything else.
I'll give Dexter an honourable mention and Hill Street Blues for being the first to really have in depth characters that didn't conform to their usual type.0 -
Starsky and Hutch, Magnum...0
