Oh my god, so much this. I've had to stop watching most crime shows, because I honestly end up rooting for the murderers just because I hate the cops so much. ESPECIALLY L&O:SVU. (That asshole Stabler needs to be in fucking prison and I don't care what his rationale is.)

I would really, really, really love to see an Internal Affairs show. The only cops smart enough, tough enough, and dedicated enough to take down bad cops. Sworn to protect a police department that fears and hates them. I would watch the living shit out of that.

Yes. Yes, please.

[fenm]

Agreed, especially since most cop shows treat IA as if they were something you scrape off your shoe. Yeah, God forbid you have any accountability or oversight...

[(Anonymous)]

Well, from an in-universe perspective I usually can't blame the characters, because in those shows IA usually really ARE that bad. But I definitely blame the writers of those shows for always portraying IA that way.

[fenm]

Yeah, sorry; my point was that the WRITERS make IA awful, which... why? d-:

[blunderbuss]

Because the protagonists are dedicated heroes who will do whatever it takes to get justice and anyone who dares to curb them with 'rules' and 'laws' and 'human rights' endangers their holy mission to beat up witnesses! They don't need to try to control the protagonists because they are Always Right and abusing the system is okay as long as you're right in the end.

TL;DR - Lots of writers don't understand that just being in your protagonist's way =/= antagonist or villain.

Internal Affairs show?

I had no idea I wanted this until now

[cassandraoftroy]

I've wanted Internal Affairs cop show for a very long time.

[blunderbuss]

Holy balls, this shit right here! It's so damn annoying to see IA or whatever equivilant being demonized on these shows as big bullies who get in the hero's way, but they perform a very needed function as well. They arguably have an even MORE important job because you sure as hell can't keep the streets clean if the cops are just as bad as the crooks!

I don't know of a cop IA show, but there is one for the UK military police, Red Cap. There's a 1960s version and a 2000s version.

There was one. Against the Wall on Lifetime. But apparently no one watched it, and it only lasted a season. (I didn't watch it either, so I have no idea how good it was or how it portrayed Internal Affairs. And, as it was on Lifetime, I'd assume there was just as much relationship drama as cop drama, but it did exist at one point.)
