Okay, so I have never been one to watch crime dramas, until recently that is. A few months ago, I started watching Flashpoint, mainly because it came on after one of the shows that I usually watch anyway. One of the things that caught my attention with this show was that it seemed to be set up in such a way that the events taking place were occuring in real time, rather than covering a number of days in a one hour episode. I think shows like this are appealing because they almost make the situations seem more realistic by going through situations point by point and by showing situations where the "good guys" don't always win in the end, which is not usually the case in television anymore.
Then this past week, after watching C.S.I. Miami for class, I found myself sucked in yet again. Of course the show isn't a great representation of reality, it seems to be more about the entertainment value, but it really grabbed my attention. The story within a story format of the show was kind of interesting and the characters, although some of them came across as being a bit cheesy, had an interesting dynamic that made the show that much more entertaining. I know I am quite a few seasons behind at this point, but I might have to try to catch a few more episodes in the future...
