Female detective shows 2000s

We are in deepest winter, my favorite time of year. The months where I fully commit all of my long evening hours to crime procedurals.

There was a time when I would dabble in all forms of the traditional crime procedural.

When I was perhaps less focused on the story arc of the detective and more interested in getting the crime solved in a neat little 60-minute bundle, commercials included.

The long years and long nights of many a winter have made me more discerning.

I’m now all about an engrossing detective series with a female lead. The more complex and flawed, the better as far as I’m concerned. And fortunately for all of us, there are more of these well-written, beautifully shot, dynamic crime procedurals led by a woman than ever before.

It’s such a comfort; the world might be falling apart and women’s rights might constantly be under a very real threat, but at least we are still absolute bosses in the fictional world of crime-solving.

Both vibes will be honored here.
