Index – Culture – The policeman is easily beaten while helping the criminal in the investigation

If crime and law enforcement are the topic of conversation in the field of films and series, we can basically separate three big blocks:

• The only police type (eg: Columbo, Poirot, Luther, Dirty Harry)
• Pair the investigator with the assistant (eg. Sherlock Holmes, Derek, Streets of San Francisco, True Detective, CB Strike)
• Law Enforcement Team (almost all FBI and CIA series, NCIS, The Mentalist, Hawaii Five-O, Secrets, Hátárnuul)

However, no matter the movie or series, they are the same in one way: criminals are on the run, and detectives want to catch them. How they differ depends on the creators. The script, visuals, acting, and film technique can take a story in many directions.

ArútluK follows crime stories

Crime and law enforcement movies and series are popular genres. Perhaps because the perpetrators of the crime can identify with the investigators, those seeking justice, and because they want the guilty person to receive their deserved punishment.

While crime movies and series are now much more than just fighting the dark light, but truth versus evil. Today’s heroes are more nuanced than they were portrayed in the past, and now they simply demonstrate the fallibility hidden in people, whether they are criminals or detectives.

Today, we can explore much deeper layers of the issue of crime and criminal conviction, and in the process the boundaries become increasingly blurred. The hadith talks about:

• What makes crime stories better
• How did European crime production become so powerful?
• Who is a good detective and what makes a good law enforcement team,
• Why aren’t really good crime movies made in Hungary?
