What are some good crime shows?

What are some good crime shows?
Not looking for CSI, Cold Case or Bones with high paid actors playing fictional characters or something as dull as cops or lame reality show stuff.

I loved Unsolved Mysteries with the old creepy guy in the 80s/90s. Damn, when I was a kid I thought he was the one that did it all and was taunting us with his Unsolved crimes. American Justice and Forensic Files were also well done, but I'm having a hard time finding any that run anymore. Do they exist?

Bones and Criminal Minds are the only one I watch anymore.

Otherwise, here's a list you can peruse.

I've heard Columbo is really good. I need to look it up on netflix.

If you're interested in "true crime" shows I'd say look up the Investigation Discovery channel and see which of their shows are on netflix or hulu, or which you can stream from their site.

For title alone I love Who the Bleep Did I Marry? Big Grin But I've seen some episodes of shows on that channel that really freaked me out. I had to stop watching that channel a couple years ago (even though I love shows like those) because it was making me paranoid about being home alone. Blush

A good crime drama is True Detective. The actors may be highly paid, but it's definitely worth the watch.

If you want to try something different, give Jonathan Creek a go. It's the original impossible crimes drama - murder with a good bit a illusion thrown in.

Bones? It's about solving crimes where the people are already decomposed. There are some characters I've seen from other shows like Scrubs, Angel, and Family Matters.

Ok, I just read the title and posted. Bad form, I suppose, to reply before reading the whole post.

If this counts I'd say Dexter and maybe Breaking bad, it isn't by nature a criminal series but it involves crime.
