Is there a police show on tv, ever, that has realistically portrayed police work? This seems like a weak thing to criticize a show on, considering.

I can generally deal with unrealistic police work/anything if the artistic license at least makes the characters involved seem competent. Hell, they can be unrealistically competent, it wouldn't take me out of the show since I'm there to watch people be awesome. The opposite is what I can't deal with.

People named a couple in a thread above, and I'd toss The Wire on the pile as well, for realistic police work. Writers probably don't want to make that stuff too true to life lest criminals watch it or something. In general I agree with anon above that the lack of realism is more tolerable when it makes characters seem more competent, not less.

If you ignore season 5, The Wire. One of the advantages of switching the pov between dealers and cops is that it minimizes the boring parts of both jobs. First thing you learn is you always gotta wait.
