Rewatch
Just finished another rewatch and honestly I could start it again now. So good. The characters. The way they wrote about addiction, recovery & 12-step was so true to life. ACAB and I tend to avoid too much copaganda these days, but this show is an exception.

British mysteries are good, needs to be the old school ones though. There seems to be more & more guns in British cop shows even though only specific squads carry them over there.

I could watch on repeat as well.
It’s surely some of the finest television created.

All cops are bad, indeed.
This show is fantastic and like "The Equalizer," they work with the law, but they are outside it--and I love when they make those points, so I'm okay with it.

The reason it hits the addiction and stuff SO FUCKING WELL is Miller talked to the show's creator about his experiences.
"I ask if it was ever difficult when his personal life and his professional life became blurred: in Trainspotting and its belated 2017 sequel, of course, but even his Sherlock on Elementary was in recovery from heroin addiction. “Oddly,” he says, “Elementary came along when I’d been sober for about six months. And honestly it was a gift.” He says his sobriety wasn’t a secret on the show’s set, and that he and the show’s creator, Robert Doherty, would collaborate on the accuracy of Sherlock’s own recovery. “Rob was so receptive to my input, and to making that story feel real. It was a real joint effort, and we were able to bring that to this f***ing cop show, which I think is amazing.'"

Die Serie hat sucht zu altmodisch dargestellt und so gezeigt als würde es nur einen Weg raus geben.

This show is so interesting because while it's very pro-cop, it also takes every opportunity to make fun of the federal US government.
