Cold case police dramas seem to be a genre all their own. I can think of several.
Cold Case: dreary and formulaic, with unpleasant and unsympathetic main characters.
Cold Squad: the original Canadian show that Cold Case copied. More interesting, Julie Stewart was awesomely sexy.
Unforgotten: more recent, long drawn out, each case lasts 6 episodes.
Waking the Dead: took itself too seriously.
New Tricks: the best. Has a twist of a blonde detective in charge of a crew of retired detectives. Dennis Waterman hasn't got the spark he had as Terry McCann in Minder but generally the cast is good and cases interesting.
Any others?
