Recommend me some good Crime procedural TV show

• Dexter

• The Shield

• Leverage

True Detective, end of story.

One of the greatest TV shows in last 6-7 years.

+1 for The Shield and True Detective
The Mentalist is also pretty good.

Criminal Minds

The Wire

/thread

Wait, I just read your description. Hrm...watching the Wire is like reading Charles Dickens if he got drunk with Mike Davis, Charles Bukowski and Sinclair Lewis then told the story to Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino.

So with that in mind...the Sherlock Holmes series starring Jeremy Brett as Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as Watson
Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot starring David Suchet
Foyle's War
Broadchurch season 1 is quite good, haven't seen season 2 yet.
Ripper Street
Luther

Criminal Minds.

The Mentalist.

Castle (In my opinion).

Cold Case.

Criminal Minds is kind of a guilty pleasure... True Detective is really good. I tried The Shield, but I couldn't stand it.

Bones

It's writer is an actual forensic anthropologist, the subplots can be goofy at times but the main investigative part is brilliant imo.

Monk. Leverage. Bones. I will edit more in as I think of them

Castle. Because Nathan Fillion.

• Fargo
• Top of the Lake (if it counts, not sure it's quite what you're looking for)

probably more crime drama than crime procedural but enjoyed watching ... The Fall, Secrets and Lies (the show 2013), The Killing, Flashpoint (was a little cheesy and episodic, but still enjoyed it.)

I think these are all on Netflix.

Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch version) is very good too. Each ep is a full length movie.

Guys, he did not ask for a series which is in any way crime related, but specifically for procedurals for "casual fun".Dexter, Fargo, Sherlock, The Fall, The Shield, The Wire, True Detective - all great shows, but not procedurals and surely no "casual fun"!

That being said, here my recommendations:

-Castle
-The Mentalist
-White Collar

• bosch
• blacklist(start with this one:3)
• how to get away with murder
• luther
• forever
• person of interest
• white collar
• elementary(this casual version of BBC Sherlock)
• mentalist
• castle

I'm not 100% sure if these fit the description but Fringe and Person of Interest seems to be the closest thing that I know and enjoyed.

Agent Carter is cute if you're into the Marvel universe

I've been recommended a show called Spooks, you might want to give it a blast

Thanks for all recommendations guys!!

Mike Tyson Mysteries
:)

Columbo...best procedural show EVER. Something less hard-core and more casual, which also focuses on the characters' lives, not just their work: Castle. Best part about it: Nathan Fillion.

NCIS

Luther. Because sticking Idris Elba in a British crime drama proved to be an excellent idea.

Speaking of British crime drama: Inspector Morse is a timeless classic.

And I have a bit of a soft spot for Cold Case., mainly because the flashback to the time of the crime usually do a good job at catching the spirit of the time period.

Law & Order: Special Victim Unit and their brilliant "Intimidation Game" episode.
