True Art Is Realistic: Difference between revisions

* In the crime genre, if one wants to be critically acclaimed, it helps to show over-worked, under-resourced cops cutting corners and fighting their own bureaucracy as much as the criminals, who are themselves not totally unsympathetic and clearly products of the ghettos they operate in (which you also show in great detail). Basically, it helps to make ''[[The Wire]]''. By contrast, if you choose to adapt [[Agatha Christie]] or make a latter day homage, like ''[[Midsomer Murders]]'', it'll mostly be treated as camp fun at best.
