There has always been an abundance of crime dramas on TV, both here and across the pond. Most are episodic procedurals that focus on lazy cases of the week and have zero regard for character development or genuine suspense.

It’s cold out there, Winter is upon us. I really don’t enjoy the winter at all, but it’s a harsh reality I must endure each year. So I celebrate by staying inside and playing a lot of great video games. Video games have always been somewhat obsessed with the change of seasons, but especially...
