In either a cop show or a medical drama, anything that could possibly kill or injure someone WILL (most especially if it gets a close-up shot).

When I was watching Doctor Finlay, I was so antsy all the time expecting big disasters for our doctors to take care of. But as it turned out, it wasn't that kind of show-- very small-town and understated, with a small budget. But I was always expecting terrible things!

One episode had both a little girl with a mysterious fainting disorder who I was convinced would faint and also hurt her infant sibling (going down the big staircase in the house, pushing a baby carriage by a river bank, etc.); and also a character was a foreman in a factory with lots of machinery close-ups, which to me obviously meant there was going be a horrific industrial accident! And while there was rather a close call with that river bank, the baby was fine and the doctors cured the girl. And then nothing medical-related happened to the foreman at all, it was set-up for some other plot all together. That whole episode had me on pins-and-needles from tropes alone, then didn't deliver on those ones at all.

Cop/medical dramas annoy me because you can always tell who the real suspect/disease is based on how much time is left in the show (and it is never the first one).
