The
Cop Show is an idealised representation of the police. Morality
is very black and white, being a cop is far more dangerous than it really is, shoot-outs are common, as are car chases. They always get their man (even if not the first time). Of course, they don't forget the niggling details of the job, either.
Specific variants:
Buddy Cop Show.
