No guns (most of the time) on UK cop shows
judges with wigs.
Weird accents you need subtitles to understand.
I often think UK cop shows are a bit cleverer, obviously I may be biased, but watching Waking the Dead, Messiah and Wire in the Blood at the moment and you do actually have to watch them. Maybe the US cop shows I watch are crap plus the social references are easier to connect with with home grown shows.
