I now watch several shows that I enjoy quite thoroughly. And this week I set out to determine just what was it that these shows shared in common that made my interest fixed. And they are all quite similar and share the following characteristics.
- Crime solving shows
- Violence is rarely if ever overly gore filled
- Justice is the primary goal of the protagonist
- Occasionally that justice that could be considered excessive
- All protagonists place justice in front of the law at times
- They all have extraordinary abilities of some form or another
I really enjoy watching their stories unfold. So I decided to look into whether or not I felt each of these were worth my time. Obviously each of these characters has their flaws, but that simply makes them seem not so ridiculously impossible. They each represent in their own way characteristics I value: consistency, justice, awareness, determination, redemption, etc. I don't always give the shows my full attention while watching them, but I have spent a lot of energy on absorbing large amounts of media in these series. I have watched most of these with my wife, family, and close friends. On all accounts I can say that I have had both meaningless and meaningful conversations both of which have helped continue the bonds we share and provided affordable entertainment, motivation to complete tasks, etc. Weighing all these facts I can quite comfortably recommend any of my top eight shows as a worthwhile form of entertainment.
- Chuck
- Psych
- NCIS
- Elementary
- Sherlock
- White Collar
- Person of Interest
