Drop Dead Diva

This week I am going to talk about Drop Dead Diva.

It is not really a criminal series. It is actually a series about the court (法庭). The plot of the series may look pretty absurd to some of you, but I think it is still a good series to spend time on.

The plot is like this. A beautiful female model died, but the angel accidentally let the girl’s soul go into another dead body which belonged to a fat female lawyer, Jane Bingum. As Jane revived, Jane’s life kept goes on, and Deb Dobkins, the female model, lived in Jane’s body and disguised as that she is the real Jane.

The series focus on what happens in the courtroom. Jane, as a lawyer, will first collect the evidence. Then, she will make a strategy to the debate. As usual, the main character is always the strongest, so she seldom loses.

I like this series a lot. I like the atmosphere when they start to argue in the court. Which I like the most is when they try to persuade the jury, they try anything to win the lawsuit.

Law and Order

This week’s topic is Law and Order.

This series is talking about the relationship between the police and the prosecutors (檢察官), which the police represents the order, and the prosecutors represent the law.

Actually, Law and Order is not just a TV series. Law and Order is a franchise. There are some subtitles following behind the Law and Order, such as UK, special victims unit, criminal intent, etc.

The original Law and Order goes like this. A criminal case happens as usual. Unlike other series, it focus on the interrogation part. After the investigation, the story continues in the court. The debate between the prosecutor and the suspect’s lawyer begins. In the end, the episode ends in the judgment by the judge.

In the other series of the Law and Order franchise, each series has its own characteristic. For example, the UK has another law system which differs from the US, so there are a lot fun to compare two series. The special victims unit focus on the victims who are the girls being raped or children being domestic violated.

I like the debate between the prosecutor and the lawyer. Both of them have their own strategy. The defense and the offense between them is the most charming part to me.

Castle

This week I am going to talk about Castle.

This TV series is very different from other series. I think it is more proper to consider as a romantic series which happens in a police station than to consider as a criminal series. Unlike other series which focus on the criminal cases, the TV series Castle focus on the story of the main character, Castle.

Castle is a detective novelist, which has a crush on the young police officer, Kate. In order to get to know her more, he gets into the police station as a consultant and starts to write a series of novel which the main character is Kate. By the time passing, Castle and Kate have great chemistry as each other’s partner. Finally, at the start of season 5, they are in relationship with each other.

Castle is a humorous guy. He sometimes will pop up some absurd ideas about the cases due to his novelist identity. Although he seems not quite reliable, he still helps a lot in solving criminal cases.

Kate is much more reliable than Castle. She is the youngest female investigator in the NYPD (New York Police Department) history. She is a successful woman in her career. She is quite responsible and devoted to her job. There is something mysterious about Kate’s background.......

If you want to know more, just start to follow this TV series. It won’t let you disappoint.

NCIS

This week I am going to introduce NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service).

Unlike the series I introduced last week, it is pretty same to the CSI. How they solve the cases follows the common sense about the procedures which the police does.

I think there is only one little difference than other series. That is the victim are all from the navy. That is why the series name is called NCIS.

Although there is no big difference between NCIS and others, it still very worth watching. The characters all have a bright individuality. 

The boss of the team, Gibbs, is pretty charming to me. He has his own rule and principle on how he does his job.

Another character who I liked a lot is Abby. She works in the crime lab in the team. Although her style is often too edgy to me, I am still fascinated by her brilliance and her purity.

I think it is a good series for me to kill the time. Unlike some other series, I think NCIS is much easier to watch. It doesn’t give me a heavy heart.
