Hi, I’m referring to fake detective shows - not reality.

I feel like in most make-believe detective shows, they always catch the bad guy in the end. Why not make it a little more realistic and they don’t win (at least for a while).

As in, make people believe they got the wrong guy and then have an episode the next season connecting the dots with another case? I feel like that’d be a crazy plot twist.

If anyone knows what show does this please recommend me 🙏
