Yes, it's time I left a post.
If only life and other things did not intrude.
Haven't read an engrossing mystery for a while. Must remedy that.
I do want to mention I've been watching Knowledge Network's airing of two long-running British series: 1990s episodes of A Touch of Frost, and early 2000s episodes of Dalziel and Pascoe.
No one does gritty police dramas like the British. (Cracker, I loved you!)
NYPD Blue came close. I watched it from first episode to last, 20+ years. There may be other American-produced shows that compete -- I don't watch them all. I find many are just plain pretty -- the people, the settings, the colors.
Not saying pretty is bad -- I watch a few of these shows. But, if I had to choose just one, I'd pick gritty.
