Cop Drama
I’m all for good cop dramas, and Southland definately fits the bill. Miami Vice also will always hold a spot in my heart.
I can't get enough of them...
I love watching cop dramas because I love to see the twists and turns that they put you through.
I also love to try and be a couch detective and figure out who did what and why!
I’d love to attend. Hopefully, it’ll be Regina King that’s there!
I’m a fan if they’re
I’m a fan if they’re good, sure, but there haven’t been many of those lately. It can’t be one of those formulaic “case of the week” shows either; it has to be something like Southland or Boomtown to pique my interest.
I am..especially when
I am..especially when Benjamin McKenzie is involved! :)
my addiction to cop dramas
I am currently seeking treatment for extreme addiction to law and order special victims unit. I think I like the shows so much cause they mimec real life and can have an educational value too
Southland screening
My wife loves it . I’d like to go
YES
Because my family has been chicago cops for the last 3 generations and I love watching the stories they come up with, seeing realness mixed with amazing story
Addicted
For the most part they are really the only shows I like to watch because there is something always new and interesting each episode. Except Cop Rock which was bad on an epic scale, just saying that sent chills down my spine.
Cop Dramas
While cop dramas are interesting to watch, addiction doesn’t describe it correctly. Attraction is more like it!
Addicted to cop dramas.
Yes! Im addicted to cop dramas. I like the chase scenes, story lines and plot.
