I am curious if anyone else is surprised by the lack of TV shows that have been centered around Internal Affairs Department.

There are a few shows that come up in searches in other countries outside the US, but not many generally.

Many police shows have had episodes or storylines related to IA, but it seems like underexplored compared to the many other cop show formats that have been used repeatedly.

Blue Bloods is an example of a show that I think addressed police conduct in a balanced manner so it could be done on a larger scale consistently.

I would be interested in hearing other’s thoughts or if maybe I am missing examples.
