about a year ago, I decided to stop watching TV shows about cops. it is surprisingly hard to do. cops are everywhere on TV, and always humanised. @fireh9lly/1443521993656111110Permalink Look on archive.org

I searched for "must watch TV 2021", found this article with 25 shows, and tried to count them. got 6 maybe/kinda (are spies a kind of cop?) and 4 "definitely about cops" (or a prison officer, that counts). that's between a fifth & a third? that's a lot. elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/g30515198/best-tv-shows/Look on archive.org
