Theft, fraud, murder. Criminals are ready for anything to hide from justice. They go to deception and new violations of the law. But in real life, the police cannot always find intruders. They lack resources and / or skills.
You can brighten up such gloomy thoughts with the help of series about police officers. Here, law enforcement officers almost always successfully open cases and handcuff killers and thieves. The list of series about police is almost endless. Dozens of projects annually telling about the life of ordinary cops come out. But which ones are worth watching? Only the best, namely those that score high on site reviews. About them and will be discussed below.
TV show rating
In our country, not only foreign serial films about police officers, but also domestic series are very popular. Their rating was compiled on one of the sites according to numerous reviews from viewers and, undoubtedly, deserves attention:
- "True Detective";
- Dexter
- "The escape";
- "In sight";
- Major
- "Method".
The series "True Detective"
The best among all the series about police is considered to be "True Detective." On one of the popular sites, he scored 8.7 points. And this is not surprising. The story in True Detective does not unfold linearly. At the same time, events develop in two time periods: in 1995 and in 2012.
Seventeen years ago, several mysterious murders occurred in Louisiana. Two detectives are working on the case: Marty Hart and Rust Cole. Although they are partners, they are strikingly different from each other. Hart is a simple family man who loves beer and football. He turns on his mistress, and then another. And after that he tries not to get entangled in lies.
Cole is more multifaceted. He is withdrawn and thoughtful. In the past, Rast has divorced and treated in a mental hospital. The detective suffers from insomnia, does not see the point in a new relationship, and does not believe in people. He looks at the world in a completely different way, and this vision helps him attack the trail of the criminal.
But this vision is not to the liking of the bosses of detectives. Because of them, the investigation is suspended, and, according to Cole, the wrong person goes to jail. But after seventeen years, a similar murder takes place, and then the task force decides to resort to the help of detectives already working on a similar case.
The series "Escape"
Another story about the police and law enforcement takes place in the series "Escape", which scored 8.4 points. The series is about police officers and those who were imprisoned due to their illegal actions and corruption.
The plot unfolds around two brothers. Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burroughs, although brothers, are strikingly different from each other. The first graduated from college and got a prestigious job. The second could not refuse illegal activity.
And once Lincoln is drawn into a conspiracy. He is framed and accused of killing the brother of the vice president. The trial is fast. Link is condemned and sentenced - the death penalty. Michael does not believe that his brother is guilty. Therefore, he decides to save him by arranging a jailbreak.
Foreign series about police often show only the positive aspects of simple "cops". But in “Escape” the police are shown from a different angle: they are corrupt, corrupt and protect the rights of not ordinary citizens, but of the “elite”.
The series "Dexter"
Ambiguous, but no less impressive, was the series "Dexter", which scored 8.3 points. The plot revolves around a forensic medical expert at a Miami police station. Dexter Morgan is a good specialist. From the spatter of blood, he is able to determine how the victim was killed, with what force the last blow was delivered, what was the murder weapon. Dexter has no equal in this field. And with his skills, he often scares colleagues. However, Dexter has a secret. He is a maniac. Even as a child, he discovered a craving to hurt people. But the adoptive father found a way to direct Morgan's aggression in the right direction.
Dexter is forced to kill. This is required by his mind. But he does not kill ordinary people. Morgan's victims are other maniacs who somehow managed to escape justice or those to whom Dexter got the first.
The series "In sight"
Among foreign television series about police officers, one cannot but pay attention to the project “In the Field of View”. Viewers rated the series at 8 points.
After the terrorist attack in 2001, the US government decided to create a “Machine” that will monitor everyone and detect terrorist attacks long before they take place. But the “Machine” learned to see not only terrorist attacks, but also simple crimes that turned out to be insignificant for the government.
The creator of “Machine” Harold Finch could not so easily watch how daily the program erases data about impending crimes against ordinary people. Then he finds former operative John Reese, whose skills will help prevent the killing.
The series "Major"
A major breakthrough among Russian television series about police is considered to be the Major series, which received 8.4 points from grateful viewers.
The story spins around Igor Sokolovsky. He is a typical representative of the "golden" youth. The guy is not afraid of anything - behind him is a rich and influential father. But the next "sweep" of his son overflows the thicket of patience of his father. As a result, Igor is deprived of the content and forced to work at the police station. Igor has to find out the real price of life and become a man.
“Major” can be considered a comedy series about police, as each series contains a fair amount of jokes on topical issues. However, the creators of the series did not forget to add drama to the project. Throughout the first season, Igor has been trying to find out the answer to the most important question - who killed his mother.
The series "Method"
In Russia, series about police are often shot according to one pattern. An officer with a group is investigating the killings. The protagonist in such stories is either initially positive, or, as events unfold, changes for the better.
That is why, among Russian TV series about police officers, a project stands out that received 8.1 points on otzovik sites. The series "Method" talks about the detective Meglin, who is able to solve even the most complicated cases. His method is unique, with his help he is able to catch even serial killers and maniacs. For most colleagues, he is a role model.
Meghlin is closed and uncommunicative. And only the direct bosses know that Rodion constantly suppresses the maniac's inclinations and fights with a serious illness. Meglin’s measured order changes when a graduate of the Law School of Yesenya becomes his partner.
