I think I’m addicted to procedural detective shows. I am binge-watching Chicago P.D. right now and it is not even that well-written. What is the allure? The fact that they always catch the criminal? That my favorite characters always get into tricky situations and then fight their way out, doing the right thing in the end? The forbidden romances between the team members? I have no clue what has hooked me, but summer 2021 is all about solving the crimes while I recuperate from hip surgery.

What I do know is that every single one of these investigators should be in jail for their lack of following procedures, mistreatment of people they arrest, and deceptive practices. I hope real policing is not as corrupt as depicted on these shows because it is icky!
