Crime/Politial Dramas
This started as a personal list of crime dramas but quickly grew to include political stories because let’s be real, they’re often two sides of the same coin. Not exactly my favorite genre, so don’t read too much into my ratings. 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 [𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟗 - 𝟐𝟎𝟏𝟓]. I’ve left out some titles tied to major networks since I’ve got separate lists for those to keep things from getting too crowded.
Revenge, Bloody Violence, Buddy Cops, Ruthless Gangsters, Yakuza, Heists, Car Chases, Gambling, Organized Crime, Narcotics, Hostages, Explosive Gunfights, Political Corruption
