6 | The Cop Show is an idealised representation of police work, justified by the RuleOfCool. Morality [[BlackAndWhiteMorality is very black and white,]] being a cop is far more dangerous in this genre than it really is, shoot-outs and standoffs are common, as are car chases and [[SerialKiller Serial Killers]]. The protagonist is often a CowboyCop who [[AlwaysGetsHisMan often get their man]] (even if not the first time). Of course, they don't forget the niggling details of the job, either. |
