As a whole?

You can't say blanket statements like that given that American crime television can go from dramedies like Psyche to thrillers like Person of Interest. The range is too wide to lump them altogether.

(Different Anon)

I think the idea for me isn't that all american crime television is bad, but more that there's a LOT of it. So much that, while a show may be good, the need to set it in an office/crime setting becomes kind of a weight in a lot of shows.

And the fact that there is so much of it, means the market is flooded. Sure there are a lot of gems, but there's a lot of bland stuff, too. And that is coming from a personal opinion, but there's only so many crime procedurals I can get through until it becomes tiring. And I love me a good crime procedural.

To me, there are simply too many, which at once raises the bar very high to create a new, innovative and interesting _version_ of a crime procedural. But at the same time, because of the success of many shows, it becomes easy to get a "pass" on many, many, many shows. I honestly feel like there are some shows on TV these days that had to "add in" a cop show element just to get the green light (I'm thinking of Grimm, Dexter *I'm not a h/c fan of either, just seen a few eps).
