Key information I found from Nick Lacey's "Creativity and Genre in TV Crime Drama"
Zeitgeist- the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time.
- Zeitgeist - reason for CSI success
- "the spirit of the times."
- can be seen as both novel and relevant to the times.
- first series proved layout worked for audiences, therefore allowing more success and two .
- Prime Suspect focussed on the oppression of women in a patriarchal society- Prime Suspect also focussed on racism in the police
- The Wire- this TV drama was very political
- Emphasised the political dimensions of crime- in more depth rather than just cops and criminals.
- Narrative is also complex
- It blurred the lined between the police and the criminals.
