But what about more realistic crime shows like The Wire, Sons of Anarchy or Justified

Those are all on cable channels for a reason. As I said above I'm still tentatively hopeful because CBS does seem to be trying -- though I think the most we can hope for is another House, not The Wire! -- but there is a HUGE difference between a channel like FX (whose brand is grittier and more realistic dramas like SoA and Justified) and CBS. And The Wire can't even be brought into the discussion, really. It barely scraped by on HBO.

American crime shows are diverse. American crime shows on major networks made these days, not so much.*

*(Before someone jumps on me: YES network TV can be good. It can be great! Some of my favorite shows are network. But none of them are CBS, and network TV is still more miss than hit, IMO. Cable can be, too, of course, but normally the misses are least are trying for something interesting, at least on the good cable channels).

Watch CBS' Person of Interest. Not only because, yes, it can be down right brutal, also because, dammit, I want a bigger fandom. (I swear, the show is like Nolan's Batman but without the costumes. It's awesome.)

Eh. I tried it actually -- forgot I even did that! -- but wasn't a fan. I do hear it gets better but IDK, it didn't grab me. I might give it a shot if people are still liking it in a season or two :/

But yes, the fact that PoI which is supposed to be tnteresting and The Good Wife which is supposed to be amazing are on CBS gives me a little hope for Elementary.

Just keep watching it. It does pick up and become nice and complex. (Carter seems to be the only white hat in the series. Everyone else wallows deeply in gray.) Reese and Finch are the two biggest badasses on network and cable right now.

I'll add it back to my list then!

*eyes list* *sighs*

I should probably go watch some TV now.
