About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a long-running, region-hopping crime series with shifting styles and occasional gritty, downbeat stories; Not for you if you need consistent quality, tight mysteries, or fast pacing like Police Call 110.

Pros: varied regional settings; engaging cases; often holds attention | Cons: uneven writing; plot holes and coincidences; can feel repetitive
