What is a police procedural?
A police procedural is ‘a television
series, film, or novel in which the emphasis is on the procedures used by the
police in solving the crime.’ It is usually written from the point of view of the police
investigating the crime. It is a genre where the focus is on the investigating
procedures that police have to do with a crime.
Why do we like watching them?
I think that we as audiences like
watching police procedurals for several reason. These being for entertainment,
diversion and escapism. I think that the thrill of a police drama is what some
people love to watch as well and some people might take an interest in the
police or directing and so they want to see how different genres are filmed
differently. Only the three words I mentioned earlier are the main reasons.
Brooklyn 99:
I really like watching Brooklyn 99 and think
it is a very good bingeworthy show. It really draws you in and although the
plot lines can be a bit silly it is fun to see what police actually do and what
paperwork they do once they bring someone in.
I know that my parents have watched
this show and they really
Like it because it’s a nice way to
escape from all the stress of their day and have a nice time watching a tv show
so that they can escape and just be while watching it.
