Crime Dramas: Life on Mars.

An essential part in a crime drama is the crime itself here we can see the victim of a brutal shooting this occurs very often in TV crime shows as it is extremely essential in order for the story line to work within this drama.















In a Tv crime drama, depending on who it is the series follows you need police investigators or detectives so that they can solve the problem. In these programmes the problem being a crime of some sort. Another example taken from life on mars considers this there are detectives here who are called to asses the scene of the crime, also as you can see here these characters are all men, it could be valid to say that this could conclude to some sort of gender stereotype.

















Work place, this is representative a a general police station which meetings take place, here we can clearly see the different characters and heirarchy. The detective cheive is most likely to be the male figure sat at the desk here.


















Here we see a clip of a strong women detective/police figure, this clip is from the spin off series to Life on Mars. So female dominant characters can also be presented in Tv crime dramas.
